>> and at times forcefully pushing back with the defense attorney, who first launched the allegations. >> these people are on trial for trying to steal an election in 2020. i'm not on trial no matter how hard you try to put me on trial >> earlier, i spoke to a bishop, reginald jackson, who prayed with fani willis before the hearing began. he said that on thursday, fani woke up ready to testify and was eager to meet this head-on. there was times during thursday's hearing that got deep into the personal lives are both willis and wade with at one point willis throwing nathan wade under the bus for allegedly making sexist remarks. her testimony he is expected to continue friday morning at nine a.m. but maybe days before we reach a decision here, the judge has already said he is not going to rule from the bench. nick valencia cnn, atlanta. >> well, the news of georgia, a nearly overshadowed the history made in new york. date of march 25, to be set for donald trump's first criminal trial. >> this marks the first ever criminal prosecution of a former us president. trump appeared in court thursday, but

tanya chutkin, who is overseeing the election subversion case in washington, dc during a pretrial hearing in new york, trump attorney todd blanche seized on that unprecedented timing. protests saying for a delay, we strenuously object to what is happening in this courtroom. he told the judge with trump's eyes locked on his attorney, the fact that president trump is going to now spend the next two months working on this trial instead of out in the campaign trail running for president is something that should not happen in this country. judge marshawn asked, what's your legal argument? that's my legal argument. blanche said that's not a legal argument. marshawn replied, telling the lawyers he'd see them on march 25th, just have to figure it out. >> i'll be here >> during the day and i'll be campaigning during the night. >> this case stems from actions that took place in the days before the 2016 election when donald trump, former national inquirer publisher david and michael cohen allegedly schemed to keep stormy daniels from going public about an affair.

according to the indictment, cohen paid $130,000 in hush money to stormy daniels, then submitted sham legal bills to the trump organization, which the former president reimbursed with a series of monthly checks. >> i did it at the direction of in concert with and for the benefit of donald j. trump. >> today, the parties debated questions to ask perspective. jurors and 18 person jury will ultimately be seated. trump's lawyers wanted to delve it and to politics, telling the judge they need to know if people like trump, judge marshawn called it inappropriate, saying they need fair and impartial jurors >> honor, to sit here day after day after day on something that everybody says the radius legal scholars say, it's not even a crime. >> it will be up to a jury to decide whether trump committed a crime. and if convicted, he could face time in prison. it was nearly one year ago that a grand jury in the courthouse behind me handed up the first indictment of a former president, and soon another historic first, the first criminal trial, kara scannell,

cnn, new york a huge setback for us house republicans in their effort to impeach president joe biden, a former fbi informant, whose story made up a key part of the gop >> case, was arrested on thursday, alexander smirnova's accused of lying to the fbi and creating false records, but republicans seem undeterred cnn's evan perez has the latest us prosecutors charged a former fbi and format with lying about corruption claims, i guess a president joe biden and his son hunter biden, and business dealings with the ukrainian energy company burisma. the charges against alexander smirnov undercut a major part of republicans corruption claims against the president and the impeachment inquiry that they've launched against them smirnoff was behind two fbi memos in 2,017.20. 20. the latter one came after joe biden launched his campaign for president and it included explosive allegations that a burisma

executives claimed that the company paid joe biden and hunter biden 5 million each during the the time that biden was vice president, in exchange for assisting the company's business interests. the indictment in federal court says that smirnoff allegations against the bidens were, quote a fabrication, an amalgam of otherwise unremarkable business meetings and contacts that actually occurred. but at a later date, then he claimed and for the purpose of pitching burisma and the defendant's preprint services and products, not for discussing brides to joe biden when he was in office, smirnoff appeared for an initial court appearance in las vegas, where he was arrested and cnn has been unable to reach an attorney representing him congrats, congressional republicans have touted smirnoff is claims and they fought with the fbi to release the memos of his discussions with the fbi the indictment against smirnoff sites, those very same memos as proof that he allegedly made

false statements and created fictitious documents james comer, the republican chairman, who has been leading the investigation of the president, released a statement dismissing the importance of smirnoff to his inquiry and saying that there's more evidence that republicans have uncovered the case against smirnov is being brought by special counsel, david weiss, who is also prosecuting hunter biden on tax and gun possession charges. it's unclear why weiss so let's take a nearly four years to bring charges on the allegedly false claims evan perez, cnn, washington, the us president, is not facing charges for his mishandling of classified documents, but the white house has been very unhappy about the special counsel's report on the investigation. we've learned joe biden's >> lawyers, richard the general, the day before, robert hur's report was to be released, strongly objecting to quote, multiple denigrating statements about mr. biden's memory. those repeated references to his inability to recall dates and details, raise new questions about whether

he's too old to be president. but the justice department appears to be standing by the findings familiar scene in yet another american community in mourning after gun violence shattered a citywide super bowl celebration in kansas city, missouri. on thursday night, people gathered for a vigil for the victims of the mass shooting at wednesday's put raid. >> the shooting left one woman dead, her name is lisa lopez-galvan, a 40 the three-year-old dj at a local radio station. friends said she was a member of a very large family of civic leaders who are actively involved with the city's latino community. they say, she was the light at every party and are absolutely devastated it's just so hard to understand and i hope that we can learn from this but i hate that that god took such a

beautiful person it's gonna take a long time for a lot of us to understand and heal from this police are still investigating the mass shooting. they've detained to people, but no one's being charged. the police chief says there's no known link to terrorism or extremism. they believe a dispute between several people spiraled out of control and they've recovered a number of guns at the scene. the gunfire erupted on wednesday as an estimated 1 million people gathered in downtown kansas city to celebrate the repeat championship win at the kansas city chiefs. people ran to safety. as you can see as law enforcement swarmed the area. this is the second shooting in a year at a major us sports celebration. here's the mayor of kansas city unfortunately, this is not the first shooting at a parade in our country or rally. that is certainly a tragic today for us, because we

don't have experience with them. you ask the chief at the outset, is this kansas city? well, we've had parades like this before. we had one last year without this type of incident we had a kansas city royals victory parade where we had almost no arrests in 2015. so i don't think in any way that this is kansas city. i do think that there's a gun violence challenge in this community pretty and many others. and there certainly is a gun violence challenges it relates to major events that however, does not mean the kansas city will stop having major events. we will do all we can to make sure people are save. and that's why i think you're seeing so many people in casey pd and it can city fire department doing work to address that >> at least 23 other people were injured in the mass shooting, about half of them younger than 16 i'm. >> not gaza where israeli forces afraid of the enclave's biggest functioning hospital the hamas-run health ministry reports four patients died, nearly 200 others remain inside the nasser medical complex in

spoke of some of the other patients so we're struggling to get by saying that to pregnant women gave birth, quote, under extremely challenging and inhumane conditions. now the un secretary general has condemned this raid, saying that hospitals must be kept free of conflict now the israeli military say that special forces carried out this raid because they had credible information for including from former hostages there may have been hostages or the remains of hostages within the hospital itself. now the military as of late thursday said that they are continuing their search within this hospital. they have not found any evidence or any hostage judges at this point, but they have made a number of arrest. but there are concerns about those that are still left within the nasser hospital and how they will be able to cope with a medicine sonfrontier,

the doctors without borders have said that their staff within this hospital were forced to leave. they had to leave patients behind as they were forced to leave by the israeli military. also pointing out one of their members was detained by an israeli military checkpoint and they're calling for the immediate cessation of all operations around this hospital and also calling for information about them member that was detained. concerns surrounding this hospital also concerns surrounding further south in rafah and the potential israeli incursion into that area. we are hearing yet more calls from world leaders, from ngos on israel to say that there should not be such an operation with well over 1 million palestinians crammed into this small area. also pointing out that there is nowhere else for them to go. we're also seeing along the gaza egypt border that egypt is shoring up its own defenses and

is starting to create an even bigger buffer zone. clearly concerned about what would happen if there were to be such an and israeli invasion. max bianca paula, thank you so much that ahead of the cia made an unannounced visit to israel on thursday to discuss the latest hostage negotiations. bill burns met with the israeli prime minister and the mossad director and israeli official has confirmed or the meeting comes during an active week let me go shake just trying to bridge the gaps for a deal between israel and hamas talks in qarrah failed to produce a breakthrough. a source similar familiar with the negotiations, does qatar is waiting for her masses response to israeli feedback? >> russian hackers who were targeting the us and its allies have been shut down and kicked out of hundreds of routers that they hijacked details on the russian cyber spy operation coming up. >> plus international leaders have kicked off the annual security conference in munich

warning about what he called a serious national security threat from russia. >> chairman mike turner caused an uproar on wednesday when he revealed that there was new us intelligence that turned out to be about russia's abilities to place a nuclear anti-satellite system in space. biden administration officials are downplaying the threat, but some republicans are calling for turner to be ousted as chairman and others are questioning his motive in disclosing this new intelligence. take a listen we. >> put >> out our concern with chairman turner gaslighting the country on these things. i worry that the motivation to draw so much attention to this is less about intelligence and national security, and more about a politician who wants to send 60 billion to ukraine and wants to reauthorize the foreign intelligence surveillance act >> there is no immediate threat to anyone's safety. we're not

talking about a weapon that can be used to attack human beings are caused physical to struck here on earth. >> i want to assure the american people there's no need for public alarm. >> national security council spokesman john kirby says, the us has been aware of russia's pursuit of anti-satellite capabilities for months, if not years. and president biden as being briefed on it throughout and kirby denied the administration, gave the republican chairman the greenlight publicize the new intelligence on wednesday, moments ago, we learned that ukrainian president volodymyr zelenskyy has arrived in berlin where he'll sign a long-term security agreement with germany to the south in munich, the us has a tough sell to make an annual security conference that's just got underway yeah. leaders from around the world have gathered there with us vice president kamala harris expected to speak in the coming hours. that's happening after former us president donald trump said that if he's reelected, he won't protect nato allies, which don't spend enough on defense officials,

say the us delegation in munich will try to reassure the allies at washington will stand by them for more. >> now, nick paton walsh joins >> us from munich nick with ukraine struggling on the battlefield and the specter of trump looming over the future of nato. and his remarks, presumably quite it will be quite difficult for allies to convey a sense of confidence. this security meeting >> yeah, i mean, look kamala harris does have an uphill task ahead of in the hours and day or two ahead to a real sure, nato members, frankly, because the biden administration's continued existence is endowed by the end of the year, depending on the outcome of the us election. and this maybe the last time i'm that administration gets to talk to its allies in an open platform like this without being in the throes of what's likely to be an extraordinary election campaign. lot of misery let's give ukraine headed towards berlin, then onto paris in both

nations signing a security agreement that's essentially some kind of stop gap or substitute for the process of getting into nato that he'd hoped to be part of. but it really a sign of key european powers displaying that commitment to ukrainian security. while we're here a lot in the backgrounds about the ongoing israeli assault towards rougher in deep european concerns about and how civilians are going to get killed in that. certainly european security is the forefront of the agenda here, particularly given how the ukraine conflict persists now, nearly into its third year. and as you said how the trump administration, not only the former president trump, they're suggesting you may at some point rescind on their commitments towards nato members of the input adequate financing into their own defense. but the continued hold-up of the $60 billion worth a that ukraine so urgently needs for its frontline activities here and this is already causing

munitions problems along the ukrainian front line. and essentially another mark of dysfunctionality in republican trope up. parts of congress. and so a lot here for the us to do in terms of shoring up confidence certainly. and i think also a real sense here of europe haven't defined its own feats, put forward its own proposals, think more about increasing its own conscience aggression towards defense spending as well, and dealing with a deeply uncertain future in the year ahead to the outcome of that us selection, utterly key in the minds. obviously of all here, as it's to the immediate threats, persistently aggressive russia and a weakened ukraine lacking that vital american financial support as of now goenka, nick paton walsh for us. thank you. >> ukrainian officials say russia attacks killed at least five people and wounded five others in the past day or so, one person was reported killed in the southern kherson region in a wave of strikes and drone attacks. other residents of the eastern donetsk region was killed on thursday by russian
