tv   Anderson Cooper 360  CNN  January 30, 2024 5:00pm-6:00pm PST

5:00 pm
tonight the united states announcing promotions for two soldiers who were killed in a drone a track in jordan. i spoke to kennedy sanders parents, and here's what they wanted everyone to know about her. >> what do you want us to know about her, she has died in service to her country. >> the commitment and the
5:01 pm
sacrifice you made for the country. >> her smile is contagious, she was always laughing about everything, even though her time was short on earth, she lived her life to the fullest. >> sergeant kennedy sanders and her family are in our thoughts. ac 360 start right now. >> tonight on 360 with a vote expected this evening on impeaching a cabinet secretary over the border crisis, republican lawmakers step up their campaign against proposed senate legislation said to be the toughest in decades also senate republicans we just leare debating whether to shelve it entirely. breaking news, the former president's $50 million legal bill last year, you may be surprised to learn who's actually picking up the tab. later everything we are learning about israel's daring raid using, to kill militants at a west bank hospital. we begin with the breaking news and the most important issue to voters right now according to
5:02 pm
recent polling. the issue is immigration and border security and we just learned that senate republican leaders are tonight debating whether to shelve the proposed bipartisan legislation to actually address the problem. a deal now on the ropes which is said to be the most restrictive set of border measures in decades which was already being torpedoed at the former president's behest by house and senate republicans including the very same ones saying things like this -- >> border security is the most fundamental responsibility of a nation and house republicans are serving as the last line of defense to secure our border. >> that is congressman elise stefanik, and from what you said there you would think that she and he r fellow republicans
5:03 pm
would push to get this past instead, remarks, came at a press conference in support of impeaching this person, dhs secretary mayorkas, and more on that in a moment but wherever you stand on impeaching secretary mayorkas, dhs secretaries come and go, working to fix or change the laws they enforce requires congress to negotiate and pass legislation which is what senators have been working on but now house republicans are choosing to kill, purely for political reasons. we just learned their senate counterparts are talking about getting in on the act and remember this is an issue that they themselves have been describing this way. >> we saw this with their own two eyes, we talked to the people on the ground. we have an unmitigated crisis. >> that's house speaker johnson, also today just moments after pointing out what he highlighted as a shortcoming in the bipartisan senate compromise which he hasn't seen but is opposing anyway. >> it seems the new authority to shut down the border would kick in only after as many as 5000 illegal crossings happen
5:04 pm
each day. why? why would we do that #illegal immigration is illegal, it's against the law. >> again, he hasn't seen the deal and if it is part of the compromise, it seems to be news to the senator who helped craft it. >> it would be absolutely absurd for me to agree to 5000 people a day. this bill focuses on getting us to zero illegal crossings a day. >> keeping in mind, senator langford is one of the most conservative republicans in the chamber, and the now endangered compromise legislation includes numerous concessions to the republican side. and wide and recently vowed to close the border if needed when given legislation to permit it. that's -- he claimed he meets congress to pass a new law to allow him to close the southern border. he knows that's untrue.
5:05 pm
keeping them honest, that appears to be untrue. for all his talk at a time of a crisis and all the extreme measures he took while in office, the former president, trump, never managed to shut down the border except during covid under the authority he had with dealing with public health emergency. these daisies openly against the deal and saying so out loud. >> the leader of our party, there is zero chance i will support this horrible open borders betrayal of america. it's not gonna happen. i will fight it all the way. >> so, he's against it and as we have been reporting for weeks now it, it's because he does not want to give president biden any kind of election-year accomplishment which a number of republicans have criticized, most notably, mitt romney. >> i think the border is an important issue for donald trump and the fact that he would communicate to republican senators and congresspeople that he doesn't want us to solve the border problem because he wants to blame biden for it, it's, it's appalling.
5:06 pm
>> according to romney and others, it's a fact, which makes it all the richer together house republicans who's carrying out that way save this to cnn who asked him about it. >> now, that's absurd. we have a responsibility to do our duty. our duty is to do right by the american people. the most important job of government is to protect its citizens. >> as we said, now we are learning there might not be a bipartisan border deal at all as gop leaders are possibly ditching the whole thing. let's get the latest on the mayorkas impeachment, first, i understand there are new developments of the border security bill? >> these negotiations at
5:07 pm
reached a critical juncture with the senate deal essentially on life support amid opposition from former president trump. we are told that senate republicans are currently debating whether to just walk away from this deal and tried to pass a stand-alone bill that provides aid for ukraine and israel. no decisions have been made and negotiators are still planning to release bill text sometime this week but the challenge is for this compromise are enormous. they might be insurmountable. house speaker johnson made crystal clear in a private meeting with his members and also in a subsequent press conference that this deal has no pathway in the house, and now you have some republicans were openly saying that legislation isn't even needed because president biden already has the authority to crackdown on the southern border despite the fact that it's republicans who are the ones pushing for policy changes in exchange for ukraine eight in fact, troy, told me that congress doesn't need to quote, do a thing to address the border and he also said they shouldn't do anything to help biden's poll numbers. >> and where did the effort stand right now in impeaching
5:08 pm
secretary mayorkas pay >> the security committee has been meeting to consider these impeachment goals, they say that he has willfully mishandled the situation at the southern border and has not enforce laws on the books and he's lost the trust of the american people but democrats say republicans are just trying to score political points and that if they really wanted to solve the crisis at the southern border, they could approve that border deal which republicans have made clear they will reject whenever it comes over from the senate. so the meeting has grown quite contentious, democrats have a number of motions hoping to delay this meeting as long as possible but we are expecting those articles to pass sometime late tonight and then it heads to the house floor but anderson we should note that even if it passes the house which is still a big if given a razor thin majority, this is going nowhere in the senate, where democrats
5:09 pm
and some republicans have thrown cold water on the idea. >> joining us now is congressman dan golden. what's your reaction to the news about ditching the border security deal. >> make no mistake about it, if the senate republicans now ditch this bipartisan deal that they have reached with the president and with senate democrats, it is solely because donald trump has directed republicans not to give joe biden a policy win in an election year because he wants to run on the chaos at the border. that is the only reason this has been derailed, it's because donald trump does not want republicans to solve our problems. he wants the problems to persist, so that he can use it for his election campaign.
5:10 pm
>> what is so cynical about this and hypocritical is i mean the arguments that have been made about you know, the feds is not conventional pouring across the border. republicans are calling this an invasion, they have endlessly focused on this, understandably so, and there's chaos at the border and all of these border communities, but there does have to be legislation in order to actually improve the asylum process, doesn't there? in order to make these kinds of hiring improvements, security improvements, and legal improvements. >> absolutely, at some, that's an credible important point. republicans realized that they look bad looking to politicize this issue and undermine a comprehensive bipartisan solution, they are moving to the next talking point which is, oh, we don't need legislation to do this or that is very different than everything that they have been saying, for this entire congress, and that's different than the reality on the ground. the executive branch, secretary mayorkas, biden, they only have so many authorities and so
5:11 pm
much funding to secure our border and we are facing unprecedented migration patterns, so, they need more authority, they need more funding, in order to address the asylum backlog, in order to secure the border, in order to address the functional trade, in order to interdict with the mexican drug cartels, in order to do their job, and that funding can only come from congress. so, it is false to say that president biden has the necessary authority to secure the border or to address the situation at the border. it is required for legislation to pass, which is what the senate has been doing while the house has been trying to impeach the secretary of homeland security, who is working with the senate to address those
5:12 pm
problems. >> just to be clear, the former president has said that only a perfect bill, there has to be a perfect bill, any kind of pill that ultimately will be negotiated will be just that, negotiated. there's nothing that i mean, that's how things get done. there is no such thing as a perfect bill pay >> anderson, we are operating in a divided congress, the democrat is in the white house, for house republicans to declare that we will not budge at all, on our draconian extreme legislative proposal, completely flies in the face of our system of government, which requires partisan negotiations and bipartisan compromise. we democrats are ready to do it read the president has shown a willingness to go further than any democrat ever has before, but it is not enough for the
5:13 pm
republicans, because they want to use this as a political cudgel in this upcoming election. >> i want to play something you said at the hearing today. >> so your own party is sabotaging and undermining this administrations efforts to address the border while you are trying to impeach him by saying that they are not addressing the border. the hypocrisy is the least of it. your attack on the rule of law and on democracy, is the worst of it, and you better be careful about the bed that you make. >> talk about this as an attack on democracy. >> well, this is a misuse of the impeachment clause, there is no misdemeanor or crime much
5:14 pm
less a high crime and misdemeanor as it's ever been defined the framers or any subsequent impeachment. they have fabricated out of whole cloth, articles of impeachment that have no basis in law nor have they even tried to substantiate the articles with any legal briefs or citation, and instead, they are turning this political issue, a policy dispute that's being hashed out in the senate, into grounds for the second never impeachment of a cabinet secretary. there undermining and debasing the constitution, and they need to be careful, anderson, because the precedent that they are setting, is that if a secretary, a cabinet secretary in any way, does something that the opposing party in the house does not like, then that
5:15 pm
secretary will be impeached. it goes both ways, anderson, and this is a new democratic party. we are not going to take this lying down. >> congressman, thank you. the cost of doing legal work for the former president, we have breaking news that puts a dollar figure on how much donor money is being used to pay his legal bills.
5:16 pm
5:17 pm
5:18 pm
5:19 pm
as we await a decision on how much the president may owe on his new york civil fraud trial, a number that could come tomorrow, we have breaking news, it's about just how much donor money his packs have already spent on his legal bills and how much money are we talking about? >> it'll be official on his filings with the federal election commission but about $50 million last year is what he spent on lawyers and investigational aid costs, and it really is a staggering sum of money. again, he has or criminal indictments in 2023, none of which have gone to trial so you can expect the figure will only grow in the coming year and this is a big deal not just for
5:20 pm
the republican party right now but in a few months, as he faces those trials and as he tries to raise money to compete with joe biden for the presidency, he has another set of money that he spending and that is on lawyers. >> most of the money has come from political action committee that he raised money into, in the aftermath of the 2020 election, so he lost the election, he falsely claimed there was massive voter fraud and he raised hundreds of millions of dollars in a few short weeks out of the 2020 election. he had a huge pot of money that he left the presidency with. and he's been spending that money on his political activities before he declared for president and now for his lawyer, he gave a huge chunk of the number to a super pac and the plan was when he runs for president in 2024 the super pac would support him with advertising and not long later, as he was facing the legal battles they wrote and said actually, can you send that money back so we can spend it on lawyers and legal bills and overtime they've been spending more and more back so the
5:21 pm
original $60 million that was sent to the super pac, the reporting we put out today, another $30 million was refunded back to his original political action committee that he is using to place -- pay for his lawyers. >> is it clear to people donating, that it goes to the legal fees. >> if anyone is going to his website right now, they want to support him running for president, $.10 of every dollar is actually going to his pac and the pac can't technically support his campaign for president but it is paying for his attorneys, so for those, when he announces how much they raise in the fourth quarter, if you look at the fine print on his website right now it'll show 10% to save america and that's the one that is funding the lawyers. >> fascinating story. the legal issues surrounding the former president. his lawyer has had to backpedal after a major claimed she made to appeal the jury award, it appears to be false.
5:22 pm
the new york post quoted her in an article monday alleging that the judge and e. jean carroll's attorney knew each other well from their days at a top law firm so well that they had a mentor and mentee relationship. this is news to us, alina habba is quoted as saying. she repeated this is a motion to the court. her attorney fired back saying, quote, as alina habba will knows, these allegations are baseless and that, quote, needless to say, at no point have we ever had a mentor type of relationship as alleged by alina habba. hours later she responded that the point of the letter was to quote, verify whether the information contained in the new york post article is accurate. and she said she now considers the matter resolved. just to give you a reaction
5:23 pm
about the former president of proximally $50 million so far in legal fees, would he be able to afford those bills if it weren't for his pac , i mean if he wasn't running for president? >> anderson, you hit the nail on the head there, remember donald used to tell us he was worth $10 billion? he should be rolling in money if that's the case, and evidently, he has to depend on begging for money from people, it was announced a little bit ago by reuters, they have an exclusive that a man named glow who owns budget hotels and an aerospace company is giving donald $1 million to help with his legal bills. if you have $10 billion, this wouldn't be a big deal but if you don't have $10 billion and you just claim it, that's a whole other story. >> i'm wondering what your reaction is to this alina habba undergoing after e. jean carroll's attorney? >> it was a blender and she was correct to withdraw the issue.
5:24 pm
it was not a conflict of issue -- interest, she should have done more investigation of the facts about any relation -- >> to put it in a motion seems crazy, no? or sloppy? >> it was sloppy and if they even had had a mentor relationship, 30 years ago, that frankly would not have been the basis for a conflict of interest. it turns out factually that they did not. so she should have done a factual investigation, it should've told her that this would not rise to the level of interest so it was baseless. i'm glad to see that kaplan pushed back forcefully and that alina habba, perhaps uncharacteristically was a bit chastened and said i will not pursue the issue. >> does it surprise you that that trump legal team was still trying to find a way to
5:25 pm
go after e. jean carroll's legal team and the judge after that big award? >> no, this is probably the last time they will try and do something. it's very clear that donald lawyers do as instructed, not what the law says they should do, not what i teach my students to do but what he wants done. and so, there's going to be more probably if not from miss habba, because donald thinks this is all illegitimate, he's not accountable to anybody, certainly not to a federal judge or a jury. goodness. >> is also the looming damages in the new york civil fraud trial which we could learn about this tomorrow, we don't know if that timeline will hold up because the judge said by the end of the month. >> the penalties are adding up, so we know between the two e. jean carroll verdicts, it's about 80 $88 million and put them together, -- >> do you think that will hold up on appeal? >> i do. there's some chance that it
5:26 pm
will get knocked down. but it's hard to imagine that it would get knocked down all that significantly. we are still talking about tens of millions of dollars. the attorney general is asking for $370 million in disgorgement of essentially ill- gotten gains plus the penalties of him losing the ability to do business in new york state, that would have a profound impact in terms of his earning potential in the future and his ability to borrow money. so at some point, all of these penalties and consequences are going to impact him financially. >> i assume in the civil fraud case he has the ability to appeal. >> he does but he has to be aware of the possibility that he's going to have to pay that large, if it is in fact a large amount at some point. it has to be cognizant of that as -- he may lose the ability to do business in new york state. >> david, what could the impact of the civil fraud case be? >> i think we can expect the judge will renew his order
5:27 pm
removing donald's business licenses, we call them certificates in new york, so donald can't do business in new york, he's going to have to change the ownership of those properties. he is probably going to have to sell some properties, and it may be done through the monitor, to come up with the necessary cash but of course the sale under these circumstances is not going to be at the highest price, it'll be closer to a firesale price, for any of his assets. furthermore, from the document we just got from the court monitor, former judge barbara jones, there's a lot you don't see in from's financial statements that raise questions about reality versus fiction, as we just saw with the supposedly relationship between the judge and roberta kaplan that didn't exist. so, this is going to be very revealing about how much of a
5:28 pm
house of cards donald's finances are. >> one more legal development to tell you about, the special prosecutor in the george interference case against the former president, will not testify in the hearing tomorrow after he reached a settlement in his divorce. he will likely be asked about allegations that have sidetracked the case, about the affair with fani willis, the prosecutor of the case. >> up next what biden is saying about the price to be paid for the drone attack in jordan which killed three americans and wounded more. also remarkable details about this israeli special forces undercover raid at a hospital in the west bank, how they disguise themselves and who they say they killed, that's
5:29 pm
just ahead.
5:30 pm
5:31 pm
things have gotten better recently, but too many businesses like mine are still getting broken into. it's time our police officers have access to 21st century tools to prevent and solve more crimes. allow public safety cameras that other bay area police departments have to discourage crime, catch criminals, and increase prosecutions.
5:32 pm
prop e is a smart step our city can take right now to keep san francisco moving in the right direction. please join me in voting yes on prop e. president biden was asked today if he decided on a response to the drone attack that killed three soldiers in jordan. his answer was yes and nothing more which doesn't say much, but it could also speak volumes. mj lee is at the white house. so what more do we know about what this response might look like and when? >> we know the president and his national security advisors have been weighing a number of
5:33 pm
options and we know from officials, that the response was likely to be more serious and powerful than some of the strike that we have previously seen in iraq and syria and the president saying earlier today that he has made a decision on how to proceed. he said he was clear on who was responsible but also have this to say on what he wanted to avoid. >> i do hold them responsible in the sense that they are supplying the weapons. i don't think we need a wider war in the middle east. that's not what i'm looking for. >> this morning, the president did speak with the family members of the three american servicemembers that were killed and on friday, we are told that he is going to attend the dignified transfer of the three peoples remains at dover air force base. we know that sergeant rivers, specialist sanders and specialist moffat, they will all be coming home in a few days in the white house is saying that the president will be there to greet them. >> the pentagon said the attack bore the footprints of an iranian backed melissa --
5:34 pm
militia. the pentagon has said that there will not be a final assessment on who exactly was responsible for what happened over the weekend but they did say that it's definitely a ron backed group, bu t what is interesting is that tonight, that group has put out a statement saying that's going to end its military operations against u.s. forces in the region. here's a part of the statement. he said, we are announcing the suspension of military and security operations against the occupation forces, that's u.s. troops, in order to prevent embarrassment to the iraqi government. the statement goes on to say that the group will take some act of self-defense against any american hostilities and when the pentagon was asked about this a spokesperson said actions speak louder than words and the u.s. has been demanding that these attacks stop for a
5:35 pm
number of months so they need to see exactly if those attacks will stop and that until then, the u.s. will continue to proceed and prepared to respond in a time and matter of the u.s. choosing. >> this next report we should warn you, is graphic, surveillance video of israeli special forces undercover and in disguise, infiltrating a hospital in the west bank this morning. they say they killed three terrorists. >> a man in a doctors white lab coat and surgical mask, a woman dressed in lack, and a third person, carrying a wheelchair, spearhead a brazen israeli undercover forces operation in the west bank. their weapons,, they know their enemy, they move as a carefully coordinated assault team as other operatives follow them in. a man in a brown coat and a white rare hat directs another figure wearing blue scrubs, as another team member dips into a red backpack and donned a black
5:36 pm
hat. meanwhile, another assault team enters, led by a man dressed in a woman's flowing black, he strides forward, past another person dressed in black who forces a hospital worker to the floor, pulls his jacket off of him, pushes his head down and covers it with a jacket. it looks like coordinated chaos, but each outfit, a disguise to get them inside the hospital. more members arrive, 12 in total. the last two, apparently posing as a young couple, toting a baby carrier, although judging by the way he puts it down, a heavier load than a baby, likely backup ammo. the second female operative posing as the baby's mother, takes point on the corridor, aiming her weapon at anyone who might have discovered that complex ruse, and less than a minute, they are gone. unclear, if this is the beginning or the end of the operation.
5:37 pm
this room, there likely objective, blood on the walls and the bedding, appearing to indicate that killings took place here. the idf say the raid was timely, targeting mohammed, who, quote, planned to carry out a terror attack. and brothers, who they claim were members of hamas, and palestinian islamic jihad, that statement, may not protect israel from accusations of war crimes on a number of counts, including passing themselves off as medical personnel. something the idf often accuses hamas of doing in gaza. the hospital director, appearing to confirm the three were shot together but gives no reason why all three were sleeping in the hospital. although, had been receiving treatment for a drone injury strike last year, he was
5:38 pm
partially paralyzed. they killed the three youth in their room,, while they were sleeping in their beds in the room, they killed them with cold blood, with direct gunshots to the head. friends with blooded hands, and family, more and around their bodies, now apparently they move to beds. mohammed's father indicating that he knew his son was on the run. we prepare ourselves that the israeli will rate our house, he said, because they rated it many times before, to put pressure on mohammed to turn himself in. as their bodies are taken for burial, gunmen escort them. at least one man had an automatic weapon on the chest. there execution particularly
5:39 pm
amid accusations of war crimes, likely to inflame escalating tensions. >> nick, do you know anymore exactly why these three you know, alleged terrorists, were all sleeping in the room in the hospital? >> no, we haven't been able to get any more on that, anderson, and it often raises the question of, if a hospital is being used by militants, is it fair game for this sort of operation. technically, under international law, it isn't.
5:40 pm
the geneva convention appears to be broken, at least to kill the man, it's particularly one of them, who may have been in the hospital receiving medical treatment, that's against the geneva convention and to kill them when they could have been, if they were sleeping, and weren't fighting back and didn't have weapons as their family say, then, not arresting can them, that's also against the geneva conventions, and it constitutes a war crime but at this point there is an open question why were all three in the hospital but this video, it puts the israeli government in in invidious position, the state department did say that they would expect the idf and the forces here, not to break international humanitarian law. >> i appreciate it. thank you. mess next, elon musk at his new high tech invention. it's another of his startups, and it was created to be a major medical accomplishment. details, ahead.
5:41 pm
5:42 pm
5:43 pm
not just any whiteboard... ...katie porter's whiteboard is one way she's: [news anchor] ...often seen grilling top executives of banks, big pharma, even top administration officials. katie porter. never taken corporate pac money - never will. leading the fight to ban congressional stock trading. and the only democrat who opposed wasteful “earmarks” that fund politicians' pet projects. katie porter. focused on your challenges - from lowering housing costs to fighting climate change. shake up the senate - with democrat katie porter. i'm katie porter and i approve this message. growing up, my parents wanted me to become a doctor or an engineer. those are good careers! but i chose a different path. first, as mayor and then in the legislature. i enshrined abortion rights in our california constitution. in the face of trump, i strengthened hate crime laws and lowered the costs for the middle class. now i'm running to bring the fight to congress. you were always stubborn.
5:44 pm
and on that note, i'm evan low, and i approve this message. elon musk has a medical startup that's been making big headlines, they just implanted the first chip in the human brain. his company says the goal of the trial is to see if the brain has the ability to control external devices such as a phone, by using only. something which could benefit paralyzed patients. neurolink got fda approval to study the safety and functionality of the chip. talk about this, i mean it sounds incredible, how significant is it, and who would benefit the most? >> i mean, we've known this would be coming for neuralink
5:45 pm
for some time, they got approval back in the spring of last year to start recruiting patients, typically they don't have motor function, anderson, because of quadriplegia, spinal cord injury or something like als, so all we know is what you said, that the first patient, they have had this implanted in their brain. but this isn't a study or anything so we don't know necessarily how well it's working. we've seen primate trials, where you've seen them be able to move a cursor, for example, and now that this is implanted in humans, they will basically see, can it accomplish the same thing for humans. >> how does the technology work? >> i think we showed a little image of this. it's about the size of a quarter. it's not very big and it basically has got the 64 thin
5:46 pm
threads and those sit on top of the brain. there's more than 1000 electrodes that are connected to those threads, so think about this. you are not moving but you think move the mousepad to the right. when you do that, your brain gives off a specific list of electrical energy and after a while this device can read that and save the brain is saying move the cursor to the right and it develops addiction area of movement, it can take that signal and translate it to a mouse, for example or a smart phone. this is the first time for neuralink, not the first for other companies. i had a chance to talk to a founder whose already implanted this in patients. here's how he described it. >> what is a brain computer? >> if you can get a device that can detect and interact with brain activity which is all
5:47 pm
electrical signals, then you can potentially restore that component of the brain. >> so, again, this device reads the electrical signals that correlate with a certain movement and i will show you on this brain model here, right in this area of the brain, that's responsible for your movement, right side responsible for the left side of the body, left side responsible for the right side of the body. if the impact -- implant is sitting over here and it starts to learn this is the electrical pattern associated with a movement. it can start to make movements on devices in your environment. a mousepad, whatever it may be. >> it would seem to be sensitive, how dangerous is it to implant something in somebody's brain. neuralink has received scrutiny in the past? >> they did. i think some of the employees going back to december of 2022 were worried that maybe it was
5:48 pm
going around too quickly, one of the primates died as well, i can tell you the surgeons that are involved with this, they are some of the ones who are sort of particularly experts at these types of operations and i think that is a team that will be probably implanting these. the biggest concern i think, is infection, whenever you're putting a foreign body in, there's risk of bleeding, but the biggest thing i think really, is, this is not a study, we don't know how well this is going to work. this is just that they've done it, so it'll take time to now look into the future and say, is this actually accomplishing what people think it will? does it allow people with als or quadriplegia, to do things in their environment? >> i appreciate it. growing frustration and anger from families and hostages held in gaza. you will hear from some of them plus an update on house negotiations, next.
5:49 pm
5:50 pm
5:51 pm

5:52 pm
safety cameras that other bay area police departments have to discourage crime, catch criminals, and increase prosecutions. prop e is a smart step our city can take right now to keep san francisco moving in the right direction. please join me in voting yes on prop e. today in washington national security advisor jake sullivan once again met with the families of some americans held hostage in gaza. he also met with the qatari prime minister to talk about the potential hostage deal is country is helping to negotiate. it's been more than a 100 days since the hostages were forcibly taken to gauze ach for their families each negotiation takes a toll but presents a new opportunity. >> reporter: in israel's parliament last week anger
5:53 pm
