actively preparing for a significant attack from iran in the >> coming days, officials in the and israel are on high alert after an israeli airstrike in damascus that killed at least seven iranian officials, including a top commander, the state department says it warranted iran not to use the strike as a pretext to attack us personnel and facilities in the region. we're also waiting this morning for word on when israel will reopen crossings two without aid into gaza the erez crossing crossing is one of them, american officials worried widespread destruction will prevent aid from reaching those in need camila dechalus is covering this for as can be look, good morning to you does the us have any first on this attack that they expect from iran, any specific intelligence about what they're expecting woke up well, good morning, victor amara, at this time, us

officials tell us that an attack made by iran >> is inevitable. and even though we don't know now the specifics of when and exactly how they're planning to strike back. we know that he could come as early as next week. now, this issue was a major talking point. the last time president biden spoke on the phone with the israeli prime minister and both governments say that they are making preparations and preparing for the worst-case scenario. but the bigger picture here is that if a does strike back, then this could potentially escalate and become a wider regional conflict. and that is something that isn't an biden has really strived to avoid since the israel and hamas war broke out, victor amara, >> all right. camila dechalus. thank you very much. you know, sources tells the director of the cia, and israel's intelligence chiefs are heading to egypt to continue hostage negotiations. >> a hamas rejected israel's last hostage counter offer. an official close to the discussion says that hamas believes israel is offering

nothing new let's go now to nada bashir in london. not are you getting any indication that this new round of talks might be successful considering that very strong conversation between biden and netanyahu and biden imploring netanyahu to empower his negotiators. do strike a deal. >> we'll look there certainly mounting pressure on all sides particularly the on israel from the united states to come to some sort of at least a temporary truce agreement at this stage, according to a diplomat familiar with those ongoing discussions, there are still significant gaps which remain in any sort of agreement that is currently on the table. we've seen both sides. we've been back-and-forth between doha and cairo, holding various rounds of talks. we are expecting the cia director william burns to be in cairo meeting with the mossad director david barnea, again to continue those discussions, we know of course that over the last a few weeks, a major sticking point has been discussions around the number of palestinian prisoners to be

released in exchange for the number of israeli hostages currently held captive in gaza. be released. and of course we did hear from a senior hamas official earlier in the week saying that they had rejected israel's latest counterproposal because they fail to address two of their key and newest demands. now they are calling for palestinians in gaza to be permitted to allow to return to the north. and they are of course, also still calling for withdrawal of israeli troops from gaza that has not been addressed according to sources and diplomats familiar with those discussions and ongoing negotiations, israel wants to see a system put in place to inspect those attempting to return to the northern. of course, has said it will not be redeploying its troops from northern or central gaza. and in fact, we'll continue to push forward and move southward, wants to maintain some sort of security presence in the gaza strip. hamas, of course, also continuing to push for a permanent lasting ceasefire. this is something that many in these national

community on our backing, they do want to see at least a pause in fighting to provide some rest, fight on the humanitarian front and to allow window for further diplomatic negotiations. but as we've heard repeatedly now from the israeli side and from its it's prime minister benjamin netanyahu. they do not see a ceasefire is being feasible at this point and wish to continue pushing forward with a ground operation in the south that is certainly raised concern. but again, mounting pressure from members of the international community, particularly of the bag the killing of seven members of the world. central kitchen ngo, humanitarian organization, growing frustration, including from some of israel's closest allies. so it remains to be seen whether that will influence talks taken place in cairo this weekend nada bashir reporting for us. thank you so much >> millions >> of people in the northeast are hoping for a calmer de, after being rattled by at least 18 aftershocks from a 4.8 magnitude earthquake that can be felt all the way from

obstruct some people's views of this rare event. >> cnn meteorologist, at least a raffa joins us now, so it's going to be a close call for some people, i guess we're watching this really closely because we've got a storms system that develops in the southern plains and actually can bring us some clouds and maybe even some strong and severe thunderstorms that looks like the storms will fire up after the eclipse, but there's gonna be a lot of people in texas on monday. here's that path of totality. we lined it up with the severe risk and you can see it's a level two out of five of your risk for some damaging winds and large hail is some storms fire up later on? in the afternoon, so it will come with some rain, couple of clouds there, especially in the southern plains from texas over towards louisiana and arkansas. >> we >> will know have some breaks in the clouds along the path of totality. so if you've got clouds, it's not that you're not going to see it. it just might not be the most crisper view. it actually looks like new england might have some of the clearest scott so when we're talking about cloud cover, it can be broken where it's mostly cloudy and there's still some peaks in there. and even what partly

cloudy skies you still see the sun here and there. so we'll have to just kind of be lucky that there's not one cloud passing over at that time. now, what's another cool thing when it comes to the weather and the eclipse is that because of the moon creates getting that shadow over the sun, temperatures will actually drop. the weather services already forecasting temperature dips over parts of texas and rochester. during that totality. so you'll get a little bit of a cool breeze as well. >> but those temperatures will rebound as soon as the moon moves on these are off, but thanks so much israel says that it has now approved reopening a key crossing to allow humanitarian aid to flow into gaza for the first time since the israel hamas war started six months ago, was he is live near that crossing with the latest plus back-to-back setbacks and two of donald trump's legal cases, we'll have more on that. and his repeated efforts to get a judge removed from one of his cases, plus >> as you know, we are counting down to the soul hello eclipse still ahead, the device that

gaza that's been closed since the hamas attack on october kober, seven. >> the announcement came after president biden expressed frustration about the gaza crisis in a quite tense phone conversation with israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu thursday. cnn's nic robertson is joining us now, nick, are you hearing anything about the timing of the reopening? of the erez crossing >> no hard details yet, but there is an expectation that it could be as early as tomorrow. i'm just going to step back out of the way because we're right down at errors right now mathias, who is going to zoom in there and you're looking at the erez crossing now this is a crossing that traditionally was used for palestine justinian's mostly to come out and do their day jobs in israel and then and then go back into gaza at the end of the day. but of course, this is one of the main places that hamas attacked and kidnap to idf troops there and shut up the shut up a lot of the facilities there it can get aid

trucks through there. and this is what we're expecting to happen and we know that the idf was down there speaking with the world food program yesterday, we know that the governments under a lot of pressure to make it happen. but after telling we've been along the border here we tried to have a live broadcast with you in the last show and there were the idf troops there, said we couldn't broadcasts from there were so we came here. it's still a tense situation around here. we can hear gunfire from the other side of the border. you can see that's gaza on the hilltop behind me there. you can hear explosion still. so the question in my mind is the white house is looking for action from the israeli government. they've said they'll open this crossing. but the action will be those aid trucks going in with gunfire and explosions so close by on the other side, that seems there's going to be difficult to achieve. and we know from satellite imagery just over the border there many of the roads leading to the border have have been hit by heavy bombs over the last six

months. some of those roads are so cratered there's no tarmac. so how are these big aid trucks going to get in and out of there? so of course, all all these questions and the focus really is on because the white house state department's hopefully blinken here in february asking for this border crossing to be opened. it didn't happen. we know what other border crossings there are problems protesters common and blocked the route. we know that there are people in prime minister netanyahu's right-wing cabinet who don't want this border crossing to be open. think the way the pressure hamas is that is the whole back the humanitarian aid meanwhile, the un says, people are closest starvation in the north of gaza. the government's allowed in. it says 20,000 trucks, aid trucks into gaza since the war began, the un says four times that number of trucks would have been needed under normal the stances. so the picture of the need is great. the picture here is it feels a bit like uncertainty with gunfire getting the trucks and that's not going to be straightforward .

>> yeah, absolutely. a lot of logistics at the very least to be worked out and it robertson glad we got your backup life. thanks so much, nick and coming up on a new episode of the whole story with anderson cooper, six months after october 7 released hostage hostages. talk about the terrors they endured while in captivity. here's a preview. >> the last message i got jumped from the window and hiding in the bush and then we lost the connection she later learned they jumped because terrorists were tossing explosives into their home but they stayed hidden watching the h4 for two hours >> and then a younger man, like 19 years old, was just jump on the window and make lakes jim, you know, like sport one of doing pull-ups? >> yes. >> something like that. and then he saw them if just behind a bush, you know, like a blob and then this young boy called the hamas terrorist in my

she said they were grateful to the fire and police for first responders and that they were relieved that no one on their staff or anyone in the area was harmed. but even though no one was injured, it is still very alarming incident, especially given the recent uptake in threats that we have seen leveled against members it's a congress >> all right, and that was cnn's melanie zanona reporting. thanks so much. >> in a memo made >> public friday, trump's lawyers are once again asking the judge, in trump's criminal trial to recuse himself since judge juan machines rolling last year, trump has become the presumptive republican presidential nominee and his legal team says that changes things. trump suffered back-to-back setbacks and trying to get his georgia election and federal florida classified documents, cases dismissed joining us now a cnn legal analyst, joey jackson, always good to have you joy. let's start with these major setbacks are talking about where trump is trying to get his cases thrown out first, the federal documents case. so you

have judge aileen cannon who rejected trump's bid to dismiss the charges based on the presidential records act. but it seems that she and the special counsel, jack smith they're clashing. they're at odds, namely over this, the potential jury instructions she called his request unprecedented and unjust what's going on here >> yeah, i don't know about that good to be with you. listen, here's the reality. the reality is, is that i think number one, it was the right call amor with respect to her denying any motion to dismiss the basis for really dismissing a case in this particular case, certainly not even near meeting the standard. i think what the judges doing, amara, she's conflating two separate statutes. now on not dismissing the case, you have this presidential records act which prosecutors are saying, judge,

this has no application here. what is the presidential records act? it's it's an act which the essence says that records that are really received by the president or the white house are public records. there are certain circumstances in which you can personalize those records that is not this case. this record, this case is about classified documents. it's about the espionage act. and so there's no basis for her to have and so the reality is, is that i think it was absolutely the right call by her with respect to these jury instructions, i really don't know what the judges do and here's why the judge is asking and really indicating that the case can be dismissed, potentially, right. at trial, if a record is developed, which would show so that these records were classified documents present. really personal records, and not presidential records. it's not even predicated upon that. so the real special counsel is very frustrated by the judge,

even insinuating that it's about that and that's what the dispute is about. and the judge really is saying that i'm not going to decide that now, and the special counsel saying, well, why not? so that i can appeal it, and so that really is what the real tension is between them. and to the extent she doesn't decide them, amara, there's no basis to appeal and it delays the le's delays the case, and that becomes problematic >> not for trump though, because that is part of a strategy, right? so let's go from the federal doc dimens case to the georgia election subversion case where you have the fulton county superior court judge, scott mcafee rejecting again, the arguments that trump's speech was protected under the first amendment in his alleged efforts to overturn the 2020 election. >> at the same time you have spell the defendants of trump, who are considering seeking a gag order against fani willis, as you know, fani willis has made continues to make public comments about this trial could this effort to get fani willis

under a gag order could backfire on them >> so i think potentially a gag order you can see right? a gag order would really be good for all parties, right. a case is about what happens in court. it's about what ultimately the evidence shows and is presented and not about really trying to tank a jury prior to any trial. and so it wouldn't be unusual for a judge to say, okay, listen, let us not either party, whether it be fani willis or any of the trump people or the other defendants to be making comments that is okay. the real essence of it here with the judge had made a decision on already is that the case is not going to be dismissed on first amendment grounds that i don't think amara was a surprise. the reality is is that yes, you have a right to free speech. yes, you have a right to political speech, but that right doesn't give you the ability to try to circumvent an election in any manner? and so i think the judge made the appropriate color oh, yes, i do think we could see the

potential for neither party moving forward to make comments. and i think that would be fair. i think it would be appropriate and i think it would be about the case, the facts, and the law wants the case gets underway when it does is anyone's guess, we just don't know yet one case that will get underway as a hush money case that begins on april 15. and of course, trump and his team trying to get that trial delayed. that was denied. and now there's this motion requesting judge juan merchan to recuse himself. i know you've worked with him. i just wanted to know your help us understand and under what grounds are trying to get him to recuse himself. of course, it has to do with his daughter who worked with a digital ad company that had had high profile democratic clients that disparaged him. but where's the conflict here? >> that there is none. i think it's a hail mary amara, i think the fact that what his daughter would or would not have done had is that plane to the case? how does it impair his judgment? how does it impair his impartiality? what

does it do with respect as ruling, you don't get to recuse a judge because they don't decide in your favor, this is a case i think that'll go forward on april 15 with jury selection. and i think this case will be tried before a jury of his peers. that is the former president's we jackson. good to have you. thanks so much. >> this next one is just a fantastic story. the way to enjoy monday solar eclipse without seeing will tell you about the incredible device that's allowing people we're visually impaired to enjoy this experience with the rest of us >> this is the big dam >> kane who that do which like are we operating asking the right question can greatly impact your future. >> share your an orthopedist, >> especially when it comes to your finances? yes. certified financial planner.

leads the teams that as distributing light sounds to communities across the world. so joins us now to talk about it. >> i love this story so much, allison. thank you so much for being with me first. how did you come up with this idea to sonify this this anomaly? >> yeah, thanks yeah. so i i work at harvard. i manage the lab and telescope. so you're trying to graduate teaching. and so i was thinking about excuse me, the accessibility of our labs and making sure that all of our students could engage in the labs in a meaningful way. and i, as you said, wanda diaz said it was a colleague at harbor. and so i started talking to her about blind and low vision community and she used to sonification for her research. she takes data and converts it to sound to interact with it. and so it happened to be the summer of 2017 when the last greatest american solar eclipse came through. and so we we're

talking about how to make that accessible. so we came up with this idea to create this standalone device that does just that it takes data and converts it to sound. in this case, it takes light, it has a light sensor on it that's measuring the changing brightness of light as a monocultures >> can you, in a saturday morning friendly, not on harvard scientist way, explain how this actually translates the light into sound yeah. >> it's actually really simple there's a light sensor, like i said, on the device and it's just measuring brightness, so it measures room light and measure sunlight. and those values are just numbers. and so we have a midi board component on it. and that midi synthesizer board is something that we can assign instruments to a lot of musicians uses. so basically there's are just numbers. and so depending on the brightness level, we map it to an instrument. so we mapped the brightest light fleet
