>> the >> good morning and welcome to cnn. this morning it is saturday, march 2. i'm kristen fisher in for mro walker. >> i'm victor blackwell. >> thank you for joining us. here's what we're watching for you this morning. the idf says that for several hours each day, it's just spending military activity today's for humanitarian purposes in parts of gaza. the announcement comes the day after president biden, since the us will begin, air dropping aid into the areas we have lived in the region with the new developments. >> a fulton county, georgia judge will decide any day now whether it is qualified funny willis, from the election interference case against donald trump the factors he's weighing and how his decision

will impact the case >> really crazy a lot of chaos, lot of trauma, a lot of people displaced and feel sad struck div, deadly wildfires raging across parts of texas this morning, more than 1 million acres of already burned. and today conditions are only expected to get worse a truck driver is rescued from his dangling semi high above the ohio river. we're going to show you this moment and you'll get to hear from the driver himself straight ahead i'll president biden calling for an immediate ceasefire in gaza, saying that the us will soon start air dropping supplies yeah, and those aid drops come along with help from several other countries too even as a group say that it's not enough as gaza draws closer to a full scale famine. cnn's camila to chalice joins us now from washington what do we know

about this airdrop camila well, at this time victor, we know that these air drops are expected to happen in the upcoming days, but there's not exact date at this time. a one this is going to occur. the one of the biggest things the white house has really emphasized is that this is not going to just be a onetime instance that they are going to keep strategizing more ways to provide the necessary resources and aid to this region and gaza and so camila, we've talked about the >> aid coming from the air in the form of airdrops. but what about aid coming from the ground? those ground deliveries into gaza, what does the biden administration doing about that to try to increase that flow? >> well, one of the things that they're really emphasizing is for israel to just increase the roots in the crossings that could allow for more humanitarian aid to go into this region. and the white house has kept insisting and keep pushing for israel and

hamas to both come to the table and broker a temporary ceasefire that would also help alleviate it's some of the necessary restrictions that would help more humanitarian aid to go to this region. and one of the things that the white house has really just kept emphasizing during this time around this announcement. it just how dire the situation is at hand and what the stakes are. if more humanitarian aid is not delivered to this region, take a quick listen listen to what biden how to say just yesterday >> some lives around the line and children's lives are on the line. we won't stand by and let until we get more aid in that reason, we should be getting hundreds of trucks just several. and i won't stand by. we won't let up we're not going to pull out pull out every stop we can get more assistance now the white house has said that they are again, going to keep

strategizing for more ways to get that >> humanitarian aid into the region and saying that there's just a lot of innocent lives at stake in the situation has just become so extreme at this time. and civilians do need the aid to go into that region. victor, kristen, camila dechalus plus for us there in washington. thanks so much. now, the decision to suspend military activities in gaza in some areas comes just days after at least 112 palestinians were killed while trying to access food aid in gaza city. >> palestinian officials say that israel defense forces used live fire as hungry people were gathering around food aid trucks. cnn's paula hancocks joins us now from abu dhabi. so paula israel says that this pauses for humanitarian purposes yes, christine, we've we really saw an outcry after that event >> that carnage last thursday

with the humanitarian aid trucks and so what we've seen from a number of countries, including the united states, including the united nations is a real push to make sure that more aid gets in because even though the events of that day are contested, there are two different narratives from the israeli side and from the palestinian side. but what it showed is the sheer desperation of people, in particular in northern gaza areas where less humanitarian aid has got to. so fall into this war. now we have heard the warning calls consistently from ngos, from un agencies that are working inside gaza as well about this humanitarian catastrophe. we have heard that the child malnutrition in gaza is the worst in the world at this point to un agency saying that they believe that one in six of every child under the age of two is severely malnourished. and what we're now seeing as well from other countries is that they are pushing more for

these airdrops. there was a realization that with the collapse in infrastructure and distribution ability within gaza and all so we've heard from un groups and ngos, israeli troops in some occasions firing upon aid groups and not allowing aid through to where it's desperately needed. we are seeing this reliance more on drops from the air. now. they're not perfect. they are imprecise. we have seen some go into the sea going back into israel, but it's certainly better than nothing >> certainly as paula hancocks from abu dhabi for us. thank you so much. we're waiting to hear if a judge in georgia will decide to remove fulton county da fani willis from donald trump's election subversion case. there attorneys for trump and several of his co-defendants claim that willis benefitted financially from her romantic relationship with the special prosecutor, that she hired. cnn's nick valencia has more on the disqualification hearing that wrapped up just yesterday these people your

honor, is a systematic misconduct and they need to go one after >> another. >> i think, you know it when you see it defense attorneys pushed for fulton county district attorney fani willis to be disqualified from former president donald trump's georgia election subversion case if this court allows this kind of behavior to go on, the entire public confidence in the >> system will be shot. >> willis is arrival during a short break in the hearing, took the courtroom by surprise. she nodded in rock back and forth in her chair as the state argued why she should stay on the right racketeering case. >> amir fishing expedition. >> the defense claimed willis and the case is special prosecutor, nathan wade started dating before she hired him for the job. >> she put her boyfriend in the spot, aid him, and then reap the benefits from it, and that she benefited through meals and lavish trips he paid for. >> she's received a personal

financial benefit of over $9,200 in this case that she can't account for. >> the lead attorney defending willis said she paid wade back in full, arguing this has been an effort to harass and embarrass willis. >> an actual conflict has not been shown and more importantly, are in conjunction with that, there has been absolutely no evidence for the district attorney has benefitted financially at all. >> willis sitting at the prosecutors table, just feet from her attorney as the judge questions several of his arguments for why there's no grounds to disqualify the da. >> there is a relationship and that money has changed hands there's maybe still an open question of where the ledger stands. but i think it was conceded that that balance could run in one way or the district attorney's favor >> is that contested? >> yes what's what's not contested is that our relationship did develop last month.

>> willis testified she started dating wade after she hired him and denied any impropriety >> 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. >> willis has asked multiple times to bring trump's racketeering case to trial as soon as possible. >> and >> the hopes of settling it before the presidential election. but for now, the wait continues. >> that was hoped to have an answer for everyone within the next two weeks so now we wait for judge scott mcafee to make his decision and you heard there he says he's going to give his order in the next two weeks. he says he has some legal issues to work through, as well as factual determinations to make. ultimately, though, he's going to have to decide what the threshold for disqualification is. is it an actual conflict of interests? or simply the appearance of one victor, kristen. >> all right. so an answer sometime in the next two weeks, nick valencia. thanks. and we're just getting started here on cnn this morning. the biggest wildfire in texas state history still raging out of

family and friends, her family at that time scrambled trying to get help to her, but it was just too late. the family of blankenship tells us that they tried reaching out to her when the fires sparked, but it was just too late in that instance as well officials telling them the next day that her home was gone and that she had also died ivan rodriguez for us there in fritch, texas. thank you for the reporting. cnn meteorologist allison chinchar is with us now. i look at these numbers on this graphic behind you and 1 million acres on one of these three fires burned already and more to come? >> yeah. and it's the two numbers, so it's not just the million, but then it's only 15% contained the other two fires we've made a little bit of an improvement here. both of these are about 60% contained what they are still growing as well. and that's going to be the cases we had not only today, but into tomorrow that the good weather conditions really are not going to be favorable for making many more

improvements in any of those fires. here's the focus for today. you can see it does include the texas panhandle as well as the oklahoma panhandle, but it stretches all the way into the dakotas for tomorrow. it is very much centered right over there that area from amarillo down through lubbock. we're expecting gusty winds that is very dry conditions out there. a lot of these winds sustained, you're talking ten to 20 miles per hour gusting up about 40 to 45 and may not sound like much, but it's enough to take those fires that already exist and spread them very, very quickly. it's also going to be very hot lubbock look you can get temperatures in the '80s, the next couple of days that makes it even more difficult for the firefighters. also fighting the blaze >> so much extreme weather happening across the country right now, allison chinchar, we'll check back with you in just a little bit. but still to come, the future is uncertain for a pair of former president trump's criminal trials will explain how a couple of potential rulings could impact those cases >> next, but first, they called him the sheriff of wall street

be tried for allegedly mishandling classified documents indict was unsealed, charging donald j. trump with felony violations of our national security laws, as well as participating in a conspiracy to obstruct justice >> trump faces 40 felony criminal charges related to the alleged mishandling of classified information some seen here in properly stored at mar-a-lago. >> they raided my house. they did it for publicity reasons. they did it for election interference reasons. they want to interfere with the election. >> the case is currently scheduled for may 20, but judge aileen cannon, a trump appointee, who is overseeing the case, has signaled she he may push the trial back in court today, cannon pressed prosecutors and defense attorneys about they're suggested schedules. special counsel jack smith proposed a july 8 start date, but during the proceedings, cannon suggested that aspects of smith's proposal were

unrealistic. trump's lawyers incident it's the trial should be pushed back. a trial that takes place before the election is a mistake and should not happen. trump attorney todd blanche stated saying it would be unfair to the former president and the american people for trump to be in the courtroom and not on the campaign trail. that's something that former president has claimed as well. >> hello this persecution is only happening because i am running for president and leading very substantially in the polls. >> trump's attorneys did concede if the trial has to go forward before the election, they would be okay with starting august 12, but prosecutors pushed back saying, if team trump believes the trial before the election is unfair, those are fake dates. why did they even propose those dates? can and noted that trump's upcoming criminal case in new york must be considered as she's scheduled. this one on march 25, trump's hush money trial begins in new york and is

expected to last four to six weeks and already busy court schedule for the former president trump. prosecutors did clarify a key issue. how close to the election would they be willing to try trump? attorney general merrick garland has set a speedy trial, is in the public interest the cases were brought last year. prosecutor has urged speedy trials which i agree and this now and handsome the traditional system, not in our hands in court though. prosecutors said that a justice department policy discouraging public investigative actions 60 days before an election does not apply to cases where charges had already been filed. prosecutor jay bratt told the court that when it comes to that policy, quote, we are but in full compliance. >> judge >> cannon is expected to schedule at least one more hearing, and we should also expect her to put a trial date on the calendar. there didn't seem she was open to doing it in july, i would expect it in

august at the earliest but again, they can always come back in july to revisit that date. so it could be tentative and it is still unclear if former president trump will face either one of the special counsel's federal cases before the november presidential contest? victor kristen. paula reid. >> thanks so much with us now for analysis is semaphore reporter shelby talcott. shelby. hello to you. let's go down the list of cases here because there's obviously a trend. the georgia case has been focused on the relationship of da fani willis for weeks. so it'll be weeks until we hear she's disqualified. trump's federal election subversion case was scheduled to start on monday. that's on hold pending the decision from the supreme court on immunity the florida attorneys now when a hearing on accusations of cooperation between the doj and fbi and other national intelligence agencies if the game is delay, trump is winning >> absolutely. i'm good morning. this is donald trump's entire plan, right? he

wants to delay delay, delay as much as possible leading into this 2024 election, which is really interesting because at the same time, he has really made aid his campaign, his presidential campaign, and his legal argument one in the same, he does not have to be in-person at all of these trial dates, but he has been to as many as possible because his campaign side has seen that it benefits them, it benefits them for republicans to see him sitting in court. that has become an argument that has effectively merged. and so it's really interesting to see those kind of difference in opinions of a we're going to use these legal issues to our benefit politically. but at the same time, we're trying to delay because at the end of the day legal problems are not a plus. >> let's turn to the republican primary and the first senators who have sitting

senators who have endorsed nikki haley we have lisa murkowski of alaska, susan collins of maine up to this point only congressman ralph northam has an enormous, it should say, as endorsed haley. what's the significance here considering that i don't know. haley is expected to win in their respective primaries coming up in alaska and maine >> this was really interesting because as you said, she is not gotten a lot of congressional support, period. most of the support has gone to donald trump and the timing is also interesting. it comes after she has lost her home state of south carolina, iowa, and new hampshire, and the big question, everyone as is what happens with nikki haley after super tuesday and i was sitting with her in a small roundtable yesterday morning here in dc with reporters. and that was one of the key questions that we asked is, what are your

plans post super tuesday and she said she's not looking that far ahead. which i think is notable. and so the big question for me is, are these endorsements in vain, or do we see nikki haley continue on even past super tuesday? >> yeah. and there's one question that many events is if this is setting her up potentially for a third party run may be on the no labels platform and she closed the door during that meeting, you're talking about. she said this this is according to the new york times. if i were to do no labels that would require a democratic vice president, i can't do what i want to do as president with a democrat vice president no labels has certainly said that they have some interest in her. they've said they've also looked at independence, but you're right. she is raised what additional $12 million in february. where is this money going if she's now saying that she'll be in the race as long as she's

competitive. not all the way till the convention >> yeah. and i actually asked her, what does competitive mean for you, especially given in these early voting states, right? you, she has not won. and she said, well, the media defines what competitive is and so i thought that was interesting. but as she told us with this $12 million, you know, she's an accountant. she spreads her money, she uses her money very wisely. and so again, who knows she could $12 could bring you past super tuesday, which is in just a few days does she stay in past super tuesday? we don't know what does she do afterwards? she seems she has not signaled any any clear indication on what she would do afterwards besides that, as you just said, it will not be a no labels run because she doesn't want to work with a democrat all right. >> we'll see shelby talcott. thanks so much >> the biggest wildfire in texas history has already

bringing gusty winds and record setting snow to the mountains. officials are warning that travel is extremely difficult, if not impossible, a lot of people are stranded at home now while this massive snowfall is creating significant danger for some, this is also a big boost for california's water supply and tourism industry. meteorologist allison. allison chinchar is with us tracking all of it. ten feet of snow possible for some people, yeah. there's there's a good side of this. there's a benefit but the danger seemingly outweighs oh, yeah, it's the short-term versus the long-term. the short-term, you know, you've got the travel problems, even people like, you know, skiers who would love to take advantage of this, you may not be able to get to that ski resort, or you may get there not be able to get home, but the long-term there is some benefits here to be able to fill up the reservoirs, but we just have to get through short-term here you can take a look at this map showing all of the winter storm impacts. notice how wide this swath of purple is right here. that's extreme, that's the highest category possible that you can

get on the impacts. we're talking near impossible travel. we already know of several roads that are shut down due to bad conditions. more are likely to continue today and tomorrow. white he dealt conditions, the damaging winds we already know about 50,000 people without power so far, that number is likely to tick up as we go through the next 24 to 48 hours. here you can see all of these winter storm alerts including several blizzard warnings, not just for california, but also portions of nevada, as well as we zoom in a little bit closer, you can see we still have some rain and around san francisco just go up around sacramento and all of this heavy snow pretty much up and down the sierras and even spreading into renal. remember, reno is not that high in elevation, folks. they're going to end up getting some significant snow out of this as well. here you can see the wider shots. so a lot of that moisture is starting to spread eastward to that will end up producing rain and snow for some other states two is we push through the rest of the weekend. here's a look again, you can see it's going to come in waves. so for a lot of these areas, it may take up, then it may slow back down. you're going to be looking at some of

these snowfall rates of and sometimes two to four inches an hour for multiple hours than it may go back down to maybe only one inch an hour and continue on often on throughout much of the week again, overall, yes, we are talking about measuring this snow in feet widespread. you're looking at four to eight feet of snow, but some of these areas could pick up as much as 12 feet total before it's all said and done. look at these wind gusts that have already come in numerous ones well, over 100 miles per hour. and there's it's a concern why we expect those power outage numbers to tick back up. >> all right. allison, thank you are taking a look at headlines now, fashion icon, iris mphil has died at the age the 102 she's known for those large black rim glasses. she's a style legend and influential interior designer in textiles expert. she put a stamp on fashion and design industries for decades, lived in new york or entire life at filling her husband founded old world

>> what my colleague, evan perez and i have learned from our sources is that commercial fishermen off the coast of alaska found an unknown object that word them enough that they took pictures of it and contacted law enforcement when the fbi saw these images, officials determined that whatever this object was bore enough resemblance to a foreign government operated surveillance balloon that they wanted to check it out for themselves. now, fbi officials will meet the fishing vessel when it comes into a port expected to be sometime this weekend, the bureau will then take possession of the object transport according to the fbi lab in quantico, virginia and analyze it as has been done with previous surveillance balloons. now, all of our sources emphasized that it wasn't clear exactly what the object was, and that it may not be a surveillance balloon at all. but the concern for officials is that it could be another foreign government operated balloon similar to the chinese surveillance balloon. that blew off course and transited across the continental us in february of last year before being shot down off the atlantic ocean. that balloon entered us

territory through alaskan airspace. after that episode, though, the us widen the aperture of its radar systems so that it could better detect objects traveling above a certain altitude. and at certain speeds. now, these more sensitive radar systems have allowed the us military to spot more unidentified objects in us airspace. not all of which are surveillance balloons. there were three additional shootdowns of unidentified high-altitude objects in the weeks following the chinese balloon incident. and just in the last couple of weeks, the north american aerospace defense command or norad, sent fighter jets to intercept and examine a small balloon spotted floating over the southwest, drifting east nor later said in a statement that the balloon was quote, likely a hobby balloon, and that it posed no threat. we will continue to watch, of course, to see what the fbi is able to learn about this mystery object. now, bobbing across the ocean on a fishing boat on its way to port. but right now, it's just the mystery catch of the day. katie bo lillis, cnn, washington catch the day, love
