>> the pressure is on president biden is preparing to go you have one of his most important speeches ahead of the november election tonight's state of the union. his allies are hoping to see a fiery version of the president, while republicans are planning on how they will strike back the armorer are in charge of weapons on the set of rust found guilty guilty of involuntary manslaughter. so what does this verdict mean for the case against alec baldwin? >> conduct a controlled burn or let a derailed train sit and risk a catastrophic explosion. those were the options left in the hands of officials in ohio after that train derailed last year. now, the ntsb says they made the wrong call. why investigators saying no one on the ground had enough information to make the right one i'm kate baldwin with john berman and sara sidner. this is cnn news central

>> hours from now, a high-stakes so dress by the current president and i'll promised real time rebuttal by the former president trying to take back the jaw will pay the clearest picture yet of the rematch in the battle for the white house, biden state of the union tonight is considered one of the most critical speeches of his more than 50 year political career. his age, his popularity during his policies at the southern border and israel and around the world. all under a harsh microscope as he looks to convince skeptical americans, he can beat donald trump. once again, cnn white house correspondent arlette seinz is leading us off this morning. arlette biden's allies are really begging him to go for the judge and where to fight harder. can we expect that tonight >> well, sara president biden is expected to spend the day putting the finishing touches on this speech. moments that

really will give him the clearest chance yet to try to convince voters to provide them with a second term. there are democrats who are eager to see the president have a bit more for the fighting spirit in the state of the union address. and so we'll be watching closely to see if that plays out. you'll remember back in 2023, he tangled with republicans over social security. but really this speech will give the president an opportunity to tout his accomplishments and also to lay out his vision for a second term. the speeches is connected to focus heavily on economic populism. he'll talk about raising taxes on corporations up to 28%, also raising the corporate minimum tax from 15% to 21%, he'll talk about efforts to try to lower costs for everyday americans. that includes a push to lower prescription drug prices as he's going to call for congress to expand the number of drugs that can be negotiated under medicare. there's also expected to be a focus on democracy and freedom, a cornerstone of his 2024 campaign. and one of the key freedoms that the president often talks about is reproductive rights, an issue

they believe will really galvanize voters heading into november. the presence also expected to touch on ukraine aid, something that's so far republicans in the house have blocked and also big questions about how he will address the issue of border security, especially with republicans in the room who blocked the efforts to 40 bipartisan border proposal. now, the preparations for this speech had been ongoing for months. i'm told. but in addition to working with his senior advisors, the president also once again consulted presidential historian jon meacham. and really what the focus has been in recent months is trying to identify the issues that he should prioritize in this speech, but also how to craft a message to convey to voters that he's ready for a second term. >> you know, when the camera pans around, he starts seeing who's in the crowd. it's interesting to see who's sitting in the first lady's box. who are we expecting to see >> the guests that the first lady invites to the state of the union often reflects the priorities the president will stress in the state of the union address. she has a host of people who will be sitting there with her that included

here's the swedish prime minister. it comes as sweden is about to join the nato alliance, a move, really that president biden had advocated for after russia began its war in ukraine. there will also be a reproductive rights focus. kate cox, that texas mother who had to travel out of state after facing a life-threatening pregnancy as well as latoya beasley, who is a woman in alabama who was going through ivf but had her procedures canceled after the alabama supreme court decision on ivf a little bit earlier. this year, you also will see jasmine casarez, whose sister died in the uvalde massacre at element robb elementary school president biden the first lady traveled there to meet with the families shortly after there's also going to be someone who has benefited from the president's efforts to try to a lower a student debt issues in this country. and then there's betty mae fight, who was a foot soldier on bloody sunday today is the 59th anniversary of that historic moment in the civil rights

movement. all of these guests really speaking to the priority as president is trying to relate to the country in the state of the union address tonight, they send their own message just by being there. arlette saenz. thank you so much for your reporting, john. >> so this morning, house speaker mike johnson republican house speaker mike johnson has reportedly encouraged house republicans to show decorum during the address. which is something they've occasionally struggled with, including just last year, seen as alayna treene is in houston where the republican national committee will gather for its spring meeting today. so what are the plans for the official republican response? not so much the shouting and heckling that might take place while john, we know that the former president is going to be watching this address at >> mar-a-lago with a small group of his advisers. and he's going to be giving a live play by play. his words of the speech tonight in his own response. and i'm told that that will be mainly on truth, social so where we'll see donald trump live posting on

his social media site. let me just quickly read for you how he phrased it on truth social yesterday, the former president said, quote, i am pleased to inform you that tomorrow night we will be doing a live play-by-play of crooked joe biden's state of the union address. i will correct. in rapid response any and all inaccurate statements, especially pertaining to the border and his weaponization of the doj fbi, ags and district attorneys to go after his police live opponent, me now kind of rhetoric that we can expect from the former president, but love. you also really put a big point on immigration that's also what we are told that house republicans want to be focusing on as well. we know that speak house speaker mike johnson, he's going to be inviting some of his gas along with some of the other new york representatives. new york police officers. and that is really as he is leaning into this message judge, of violence and chaos as he wrote on x yesterday in sanctuary cities. and again, really trying to emphasize the chaos at the

border, immigration we know that republicans believe are one of joe biden and republican, excuse me, democrats in general vulnerabilities heading in to november that is going to be big theme of this speech. now we also know that senator katie britt, she is a senator from alabama. she will be delivering the official rebuttal to joe biden, state of the union address, and she's also going to be leaning in to some of these immigration themes were told, but i do think, you know, she is 42 years-old. she's one of the youngest women in the senate. she's the first female elected two senate in alabama. and so i think that will also be a stark contrast that republicans are trying to set, particularly when it comes to biden's age and again, his age is also a big vulnerability that republican see they can continue to hammer him on as donald trump and joe biden head to a rematch. ahead of november, drawn alayna treene in houston. >> thank you very much. okay. >> so ivf treatments in alabama may be starting back up this

morning after the governor signed a new bill into law overnight, the law now protects ivf providers and patients from civil and criminal liability. now this is the result you remember from what became a mad scramble by alabama lawmakers after the state supreme court ruling through fertility treatments statewide into a world of uncertainty, the court declared that under state law, frozen embryos are considered children and thus deserve the same legal protections as children. let's get to where they are. now i'll, as this is a new day for alabama, cnn's isabel rosalas is in alabama >> isabel, what are the what are the clinics and hospitals that had to put a pause on treatments? what are they going to be able to do today? >> hey, kate, good morning to you too, out of the three of them say that they are resuming ivf treatments one of them is not. so let's dig into that a little bit. the center for reproductive medicine at mobile health, this is the same fertility clinic embroiled in the case that led to the classification of embryos as

humans is children. this clinic mark nix, the ceo of infirmary health, telling cnn that they will not resume ivf treatments. they have some concerns about the legal language saying that they need legal clarity as to the extent of the immunity that clinics and patients would have telling cnn in a statement quote at this time, we believed the law falls short of addressing the fertilized eggs currently stored across the state and leaves challenges for physicians and fertility clinics trying to help deserving families have children of their own. meanwhile, alabama fertility says that it's set to resume those treatments as early as today or tomorrow, and then the university of alabama at birmingham it says it is working to promptly move to restore those ivf treatments. so let's talk about the law again. again, sine quickly by the governor just an hour after it pass through the legislature the laws designed to protect those who provide and receive ivf by offering criminal and

civil immunity. this is crucial because ivf clinics routinely dispose of unwanted, nonviable frozen embryos that they don't need. the supplies immediately and retroactively. but here importantly, kate, it does not get to the heart of the alabama supreme court ruling that embryos are human beings so that means there is more to come. it's good to see you, isabel. thank you for that update, sir. >> all right. just ahead, what the guilty verdict of the armor in the rust shooting trial could mean for actor and producer alec baldwin also an investigation into the train crash in east palestine, ohio finds the controlled burn that sparked explosions and sent plumes of this toxic smoke in the air. was not necessary. plus new cnn reporting this morning on what president biden's allies have been stressing over and white tonight, maybe it's chance president to put those fears to rest. that's ahead

tonight is a woman who waged a legal battle with the state of texas over her right to have an abortion after 15 was diagnosed with a rare and deadly condition. cnn's dana bash sat down with her. she's with us now. dana, what did kate cox tell you? >> she told me that she got married young and that she never even considered that abortion would be something she would have to deal with. then she and her husband, who i should say, they already are parents of two young kids. they were told that her third pregnancy was not viable and they came to the excruciating decision to end the pregnancy one, they didn't think would end up with a lawsuit that made national headlines >> some people have been using medicine. >> how many weeks pregnant were you when you first heard trisomy 18 and that you're at risk for your baby having that, which is a rare chromosomal

disorder i think i was around 13 weeks when it first came up as a risk. the first thing we saw was a very clear issued development of the spine. and so we thought, well, maybe maybe or maybe we'll have a life in a wheelchair and then the next week we saw more and it continued over five weeks. and that's when i got the full diagnosis in that final ultrasound. was catastrophic. it was our baby would never survive. >> the moment as a parent, as a mother when you learn that there's something wrong with your pregnancy, i know what that's like and it's etched in your memory forever i asked the dr. best-case scenario if she survived the pregnancy because trust me, the full trisomy 18 babies often miscarry or are still born and so if we

survived the pregnancy and we survived the birth, how long best-case scenario does she think we could have with her and she said the longest would be a week. >> i >> asked my dr. motor, what do women do when they receive a diagnosis like that? like this? and she told me some women choose to continue the pregnancy some choose not to and i asked her if that was an option in texas. if i chose not to to the pregnancy and she told me it's not. >> so you filed a lawsuit and the court granted the restraining order on the law saying that you could legally obtain an abortion and that you would not be at risk for driving your wife, that the dr. would not be at risk. but then the next day, the texas supreme court temporarily blocked the decision. what were those days like? >> well, when we got the ruling from the judge, we were excited and hopeful. we thought well,

maybe everybody will see, common sense that comes with this issue, like we do, that this is medical care is this is what's needed going from hopeful to feel like, okay, this isn't going to be as easy as we thought. >> it was really crushing pregnancies are complicated. and it's difficult sometimes to build your family, so it's really terrifying when that's left up to the politicians and judges. >> you did make the decision to travel outside of texas. you went to new mexico to have an abortion tough decision. >> we were on a strict timeline and we couldn't wait any longer. so the decision had to be made >> so hardest thing i've ever been through in our lives and the laws today added a lot more pain. to what was already the most painful time in our lives that's why i want to share our story and that's why i hope it will be different one day ok.

and justin told me they were never particularly political. they didn't even vote regularly, but this experience clearly inspired activism she said that when she got the call from the white house about flying in to dc for tonight's state of the union. kate, she missed the call because she was deepen mom mode, and then she saw on her phone and it said ms call from joseph biden okay i mean, i've i've you're going because you can everyone appreciates what mom and dad mode is when you don't even know where your >> phone is, let alone being able to find when you're deep into something. but one thing is they've never been particularly political, but it seems that seems absolutely. you can see that on their faces when they're telling their story. this is not, this is not about politics for them. and it definitely is a huge political issue though in this moment, it's really wonderful to hear them and let them speak, dana, thank you for bringing that to us. >> they are incredibly, incredibly brave yeah. it only happened three months ago

>> i was just calling a trap and he couldn't get out. >> vegas was having an identity crisis it was the beginning of the downfall, but vegas had a different idea >> vegas, the story of sensitive. next sunday at ten on cnn the head of the ntsb now says that officials in ohio made the wrong call when they chose >> to conduct a controlled burn in the minutes after the norfolk southern train derailment last year. in testimony on capitol hill, jennifer homendy, she says that local and state officials on the ground, they did not have enough information to make the right recall that very dangerous day, that decision and that controlled burn sent more than 1 million pounds of hazardous chemicals into the into the air, the water, and the soil in east palestine, you remember these images that we've looked at? cnn's polo sandoval, he's got more on this. he's joining us now. he's this was really interesting to hear from homedy

and what the ntsb is found in their investigation. what is the big takeaway and what does this mean for east palestine? >> as you mentioned, kate is extraordinary. it's all very troubling and it really echoes with the ntsb's own experts had said just last summer calling into question local officials just decision to proceed with the so-called vent and burn of the cars that were carrying some of those toxic chemicals. remember, was about three days after that derailment a year ago last month that that decision was made and there was a concern that if that vinyl chloride was not centrally drained and then burned off, then they could experience a catastrophic supposedly proceeded. and as you point out, we all remember those ominous plumes of smoke over east palestine. and then yesterday, the ntsb chair now say the last really year of review has revealed that there was no scientific, scientific basis for making that decision. and that in fact it was the wrong way of proceeding with the situation saying that things were in fact cooling down, but also as you're about to hear directly from the chair

herself, that it was not made clear to those in control the situation, at least trying to assess the situation that the company who own those chemicals was on the ground and they were telling the train company that the chemicals we're actually cooling down but there was another option, let it cool down. it was cooling down. oxy vinyls was on-scene providing information to norfolk southern's contractor who was in the room when the decision made with was made and when advice was given to the governor of ohio to the incident commander, they were not given full information because no one was told oxy vinyl was on scene they were left out of the room. the incident commander didn't even know they existed. neither did the gun governor. so they were provided incomplete information to make a decision

>> just the weight of that statement alone here, kate and norfolk southern, again, the owner of that train responding to yesterday's testimony, i'll read you a portion of that statement. the company writing the final decision to conduct a controlled release was made by the incident commander with input from multiple stakeholders, including norfolk southern, and local, state and federal authorities. the company also went on to write that the successful controlled release prevented potentially catastrophic uncontrolled explosion that could have caused significant damage for the community. but remember, this community anxiety still looms large on them as they are still worried read about their drinking water, even though officials are trying to reassure them that it is safe to drink and where we can see the images behind you of what that looked like in the days, weeks when it happened to mean that wasn't terrifying mess. right. thanks for the update. polo. thanks. good, sir. >> all right. what democrats want to see fight harder and show more passion it's what they want to see from president biden tonight in his state of the union address, his primetime address is expected to tout his economic accomplishments and highlight his plans to cut health care

costs and secure the border. but biden's allies hope his feisty attitude is what shines through this time cnn's isaac dovere is joining us now from washington when you look at this, you spoke to a number of democrats who had a lot to say about how they want president biden to be tonight. what do they tell you? >> yeah. like you hear words like pride and passion, enthusiasm. that's what they want to see from the president. this is a question not just of his age and showing that he's up to the job and ready for the campaign ahead. but that he has the enthusiasm for going up against trump governor tim walz, governor of minnesota, saying to me, you need to hear it from the candidate himself. people wonder, is he tough enough to do this? and he wall says, biden is and can show that, but he needs to start doing it. you have sara, all those reports always have the president cursing behind closed doors about donald trump or benjamin netanyahu are saying things at fundraisers and people say they need to see

more of that if they're going to get the president to where he needs to be in this campaign year. >> isaac dovere. thank you so much for that reporting. and of course, that's going to happen at a few hours. we will all be watching that state of the union address >> john, this time, jon, what goes around comes around because i think i called you kate six times yesterday with the denver. all right. with us now for biden white house communications director and cnn political commentator kate bedingfield and former press adviser to then house speaker john beta more gillespie. so isaac reporting there that democrats want to see an energized president biden will it just so happens that the white house chief of staff is out doing interviews in advance of the state of union saying things like your going to see an energized president, jeffrey zients telling politico, you're going diseases literally, you're going to see a very energized president. this is a big moment. and the president rises to those big moments, plaques a little subtlety when you say well, it's, it's true though he does. i mean, i'm somebody who worked for him for very long time, these big

moments where he so is he feels that he has to really kind of step up and land it he does. and he also really he loves this speech. he loves congress. remember this is somebody who served in congress for 36 years. he likes being on capitol hill. he likes being among members of congress. and so he knows this is a big night. i think you will see a lot of energy from him if what does that mean? >> it is there any risk in sending expectations too high? and i say this is someone you know, when you give speeches, the worst thing isn't someone introduces us, someone who's always funny in a to entertain. i mean, doesn't that set the bill to hang always a risk of high expectations, of course, but i think expectations were always going to be there for this moment. we just had super tuesday, the official launch of the general election campaign. the state of the union remains one of the few moments the president has in this day and age and an incredibly fractured media environment, where he really commands the full attention of the country. so look, they're always going to be high expectations. it's the state the union. >> but >> remember last year, i mean, remember last year. last year,

state of the union was probably one of joe biden's best moments. he had that great spontaneous back-and-forth with republicans, or he baited them on social security and medicare. so this is an arena he's very comfortable in. he knows what he wants to say tonight, and i think you'll give a strong performance. >> oh, i remember last year, i do there were some moments last year where were the crowds, specifically the republicans, they've gotten a little bit rambunctious, a little rowdy. let's play a little bit of that >> what his cane proposed by individuals. i'm not politely not naming them, but it's being proposed by somebody you so maura you worked for >> a republican house speaker in advance of the state of the union address. i mean, mike johnson apparently has told republicans he wants to see decorum. how easy is it? >> it's the goal is to have decorum there. so i'm glad that he's setting that, you know, objective for remembers whether

they follow him or not. i don't know. when i refer john boehner, you know, our goal, head of the union, was to remind him, don't make any news, you know, just just don't think any news tying keep a neutral expression on your face and the attention isn't about we don't want the attention to go to him as the goal there. so as far as controlling members of congress, that's a little tougher. it's a big challenge. we see that in years past, really, probably since obama's first term, we saw kind of things ratchet up unfortunately. but the institution of congress, it really does need to get back to having decorum reminding people why people have love for institutions. like you said, joe biden loves congress i love the institution of congress. i loved working on the hill but it has devolved and i really wish i could get back to having respected being disagree without being disagreeable if there is that outburst who do you think it benefits politically tonight? >> i mean, they married people, the ones who will lose, but i don't really think that members are going in there thinking, oh, i'm going to make an

embarrassment of myself. i think i'm going to get my constituents my right flank, far right flank. they're going to love this. i'm gonna use it to campaign off of so we get every morning before the eve of the state of the union, we typically get the list of people who will be in the gallery, the president's specific, yes. so what i liked most about these is that they're always single entendres. i mean, there are people who are there for one specific reason to highlight one specific thing. and it can be very meaningful. i mean, you have lottery a beasley, who's an alabama mother, who was you know, going through in vitro fertilization with the alabama supreme court's stop that process. kate cox, who dana talk to you right there, who had to leave the state of texas for an abortion. maria shriver, of course, former journalists, healthcare advocate, but i think notably the cousin rfk junior. so if this is a single entendre, kate, what is that single entendre? >> well, i think this entire group actually represents what's at stake. i think that's what the white house is trying to do here. they're trying to illustrate what is at stake in this election for maria shriver to be there, i think is important given all of her work, but yes, it doesn't

go without noting that she's family member of robert f. kennedy. i think there's very little question if you're paying close attention to this election, that a third-party candidate but it has the potential to have huge impact on the outcome. this is going to be erased. that's going to be won and lost in the margins and so i think the biden white house is sending a very strong signal here about, about party unity. and if it's a little dig at rfk junior will be >> well, so be sure it's a well, so i'm not sure that's the side effect you would i think that might be the intention i love it. actually, an add-on to the question i asked you before, who wins, who loses if there is an output verse in the crowd here one of the things that president biden has made clear he wants to do, he said over the last 24 hours is reach out to nikki haley voters. so how does he do that? in this speech, if you get that type of reaction from the crowd, does that play into his hands? does that mean? we turn off some nikki haley type voters who will be watching on tv absolutely. being the adult in the room and coming out this from being a statesman, right? this is his opportunity to, while i wish it was more

focused on policy and in some areas it will be ivf talking about abortion that will really speak to nikki haley voters but performance is actually more important than the substance here. and i think he can really set himself up to appeal to those nikki haley voters by again, drawing a contrast between himself and on trump, being the column, being the steadfast, being present, more presidential as opposed to chaos, he can potentially bring in nikki haley voters by doing that tonight. >> but as jeff resign says energetic energetic, and calm, all at the same time. right. but i guess stamina to do exactly what gillespie, kate bedingfield, great to have you here. thank you. >> so new moves in arizona suggests that the probe into efforts to overturn the 2020 election, there is accelerating ahead of the 2024 presidential election. sources are telling cnn that state prosecutors, they've issued several grand jury subpoenas to people related to donald trump and those efforts, the state's attorney general could also be close to deciding whether to bring criminal charges. cnn's

kaitlan, poland's has this new reporting. she's joining us now. kaitlan, what could happen here? >> well, kate, this is the sort of thing that happens when prosecutors, like the attorney general in arizona may need to decide if they want to bring charges in this situation, there's several new grand jury subpoenas that we have learned about that had been issued and that are asking questions about the 2020 election. what was happening in that state? after the election leading up to january 6. now, this is a state-level investigation. we've seen several of those across the country result in charges in nevada and michigan and georgia, fake electors have been charged who are affiliated with donald trump. that's the low-level people who were putting themselves forward is life electors for trump falsely. but then in this investigation and in georgia, there appears to be a broader sense of what the prosecutors are looking at in these subpoenas. they are asking for things not just about the fake electors plot, but also about

attorneys around donald trump and people working and affiliated with the national campaign level of donald trump and his operation, who they could be looking at charging. that's still a question the prosecutors will have to decide and reveal, but it could be people like john eastman who is getting there are a lot of questions about john eastman. and on top of that, kate, we know that one of the things the arizona prosecutors have done now is spoken to ken chesebro. he was one of the top lawyers working around people like eastman and others with trump to organize these fake electors can chesebro previously spoke to investigators in michigan about what he knew and we had obtained the audio there. this is what he said to the michigan prosecutors so i ended up explaining that arizona was still hypothetically possible because the autumn >> electors have voted and i explained to the whole logic, because the author electors have voted, we had more tied with litigation. so it was i

think clear in a way that maybe you hadn't been before that we had till january 6, two to win so that would be ken chesebro talking about a december 2020 meeting with donald trump. that's something that he has shared with prosecutors, not just in michigan where that sound bite came from, but also something we know he may be asked about in arizona where he is speaking to prosecutors. what prosecutors do in arizona there and the charges seeing decisions they might make, how far up the political ladder they go. that remains to be seen, kate, that is definitely a standby to standby. it's good to see you, kaitlan. thanks for the great reporting sir. >> all right. still ahead. negotiations for a ceasefire in gaza by ramadan are falling apart. what happened? the very latest from the region today. and the secret service announcing a new self-service security screening. you know how when you're at the grocery store and you can check yourself out. well, apparently you can check yourself in at the airport, will talk all about it. >> coming up

when i look around this room, i can help a wonder is ozempic ripe for me? >> you're about to watch the 95th annual i'm kind of me awards sponsored by ozempic >> i guess everyone in hollywood has diabetes >> for the record, there is truth ingest those jokes, born from the reality that trendy new weight-loss drugs have become synonymous with celebrities taking them. but the drugs popularity in and outside of hollywood has caused them to be in short supply for people who really need them for diabetes treatment for example, and other health reasons. now, just in time for the oscars this weekend, drug maker, eli lilly rolling out a brand new ad campaign warning against taking these drugs solely because of how they put it vanity. cnn's medical correspondent, meg tirrell is joining us now, tell us more about this, this ad campaign. this is a different kind of ad campaign. we're actually hearing from a drug company saying you shouldn't be taking these medications. we've almost never heard this before. eli lilly makes zepbound, which is a drug just approved for weight

loss, as well as mounjaro, which is a diabetes drug. take a look at this ad that is launching this weekend around the oscars >> some people have been using medicine, never meant for them for the smaller dress, a tux for a big night >> for vanity but that's not the point >> people whose health is affected to buy obesity are the reason we work on these medications >> really talking about at the end of that ad, quote, it matters who gets them. we spoke with eli lilly's ceo about why they launched this ad, which is going to run around the oscars this weekend. he said, in part, they haven't studied this medication for cosmetic it lost. they've only studied it in people with obesity and with type two diabetes. he also noted insurance coverage is really poor for people with obesity. half of people who could qualify for these

medicines don't have coverage for them. and of course, the shortage issues he pointed out this is a week around advocacy for obesity around world obesity day here's what he told us about the timing of this ad campaign >> this is a serious condition with a serious medication and yes, the, the media attention drawn on that from last year and might be drawn this year. we're taking a point of view on that, that these medicines were invented for people with serious health condition they're not invented. just to have someone who's famous look a little bit better >> this is something we've always, never seen before, sarah, i'm not in drug. we've ever seen telling people not to take a medicine. i mean, this really shows these a cultural place. these medications have started to take their expected to be some of the biggest drugs of all times so many people are trying to take them. the companies can't keep up with demand. they're making billions of dollars really trying to focus in on here. who should be

taking these medicines, who they are fda approved for? >> meg tirrell really understand. thank you. thank okay. >> so we've learned a hamas delegation has left egypt today with no clear breakthrough in the appreciate the ongoing negotiations over a ceasefire in exchange for releasing hostages from the october 7 hamas terror attack in israeli officials are now telling cnn that they do not believe hamas statements that the militants don't know which hostages are alive and which are dead, which has been a key demand of israel. well, effectively freezing negotiations in place at the moment. >> all >> of this very clearly dimming the hopes from the middle east to the united states that the deal is within grasp right now, cnn's paula hancocks is following all of this. there's been some new there's been at least new statements coming out this morning, not not giving a lot of people hope that is going to be happening anytime soon. paula, what's happened >> well, that's right. i mean, just a week ago, kate, we heard

from the biden administration that a deal could be within days and now we are hearing from us officials, quote, hope is fading. the fact that the hamas delegation has left cairo shows that there was no breakthrough, shows that the talks are going nowhere at this point than the fact that there wasn't even an israeli delegation in cairo also shows the hope is fading now, we had heard from hamas, they said they were being flexible. they said they had pulled back their demands. but we've heard from israel that one of those key demands, the fact that they want this list of hostages, they want to know which ones are alive and which ones are not is just not possible from hamas. am i saying they need a ceasefire enable in order to be able to try and get that list together, which shows you just said an israeli official said they do not believed saying it is a game at this point. so this would be extremely disappointing news to many in the region to the hostage

families, too many of the palestinian prisoners that would have been released in return as well. and not least, for the 2.2 million palestinians in gaza, the un warning that a porter of the gaza strip is on the brink of famine in northern gaza, child malnutrition is horrific. what we are seeing is certainly from humanitarian aid groups as well devastation that they won't be this ceasefire, that they won't be able to flood the gaza strip with aid anytime soon. kate paula, it's great to have you. thank you so much for pulling it all together for us. >> it's good to see you. >> john new details >> justin about the president's state of the union address tonight, maybe the biggest speech of his presidency, the new tax proposals, the surprising guests he is bringing. and just how energetic his staff says he will be >> it's a new de in alabama with a new law
