also new today, iranian authorities have seized a container ship near the strait of hormuz. the ship which turron links to israel has been directed toward iran and overnight, israel, andy iran-backed militant group hezbollah exchanged attacks across the border width southern lebanon a lot of factors to keep an eye on here. we have jennifer hansler in washington, jeremy diamond in jerusalem, and ben wedeman is in beirut, lebanon for us, i want to start with you, jennifer, what do we know about the president's turn to the white house today >> when o'mara, this is one of the clearest signals yet that the us expects something to happen imminently. we see the president returning from rehoboth where he was supposed to be spending the weekend back to dc to meet with his national security team and be linked up for whenever this potential attack by iran happens, the president said, yes so nike expected it sooner than later. he also warned the iranians, do not do this. take a listen to what he said you gave me on

israel is from a mr. president >> expectations >> what a surprise iran, in this moment we know that these message has also been conveyed privately to iran. there has been an exchange of messages behind the scene between the two countries each morning, each other, not to get involved here, we have also seen this flurry of diplomatic activity behind the scenes. secretary of state antony blinken has spoken with a number of counterparts, basically, anyone he thinks has any sway over around to also warn them against escalation. we've seen both blinken and secretary of defense lloyd austin speaking with the israeli defense minister over the past several days to reemphasize the us support for israel in case of any attack, there be alert is very high here for a potential explosion of the situation. omar. >> and of course, israel has been the direct target here of this potential retaliation. and jeremy, how israel preparing

for a possible attack here? >> well, there have been a flurry >> of meetings between israeli officials themselves, consultations with american officials, and also is forces certainly on higher alert. this evening, omar we heard yesterday from israel's top general, herzi halevi, who said that israeli forces are prepared to defend and respond to any scenario, including an attack by iran today, the israeli military spokesman, admiral daniel hagari, saying that iran will quote, bear the consequences for choosing to escalate that comes as i'm told that israeli officials are preparing for a potential iranian attack on israeli facilities inside of israel. that of course is what is now being viewed as one of the more likely scenarios. but it is one of several scenarios that are being considered in terms of whether or not iran will attack directly using its forces, or whether it will carry out this attack using a numerous proxies forces that it has in the

region. certainly the type of attack that iran carries out and where it is directed, what the target is. we'll certainly determine what come next and whether or not that will be a significant israeli response, perhaps one that could come on iranian soil. if indeed this iranian response comes on israeli soil. so a lot to be determined, but certainly this is a very tense moment in the region and all of this just highlights the multiple fronts the israel is fighting here. it's not just the israel-hamas war. there have also been back-and-forth with hezbollah fighters in southern lebanon. obviously, this potential iranian retaliation trump is in response to a strike in syria. i want to bring in ben wedeman, who was just at the lebanon, israel border. what did you see there >> well what we saw is that there's no part of the middle east where the tensions between iran and israel are played out more dramatically than in southern lebanon along the line

that separates israel and lebanon. and certainly what we saw is evidenced that that his one of the most tense and dangerous corners of the middle east were on patrol with spanish un peacekeepers in a land on the edge. the southernmost part of lebanon wracked by six months of strike and towner strike between hezbollah and israel on the brink, perhaps of even worse we drive along the blue line. the unofficial frontier between two countries in a technical state of war for more than 75 years a concrete wall topped by mesh is all that separates the two. more than 300 people, fighters and civilians have been killed here since october communities on both sides perilously close to the borders has lieutenant

colonel juan garcia martinez metalized the knob at about policies you, you've the, from clause to the blue line and you can for many the idea hizballah is a close ally of the which is threatening to retaliate against israel for its bombing of tat ons consulate in damascus grazing the specter that the war in gaza could spread across the region when you speak to ordinary people analysts, diplomats, they all seem to agree or between his butler in israel is not a matter of if it's, only, in question around 90,000 people have fled the south since october. others remain many of them syrian workers tending arms in these fertile valleys so the spanish peacekeepers

basis, right on the border and in the line of fires is captain hectare alonso so then legally, we have their israel or the south north, we have level, right? so as i said, we have seen some signifiers, some strikes in the area. we seeing a striking on on this area which is called masara just a few hundred yards away across a minefield, sits in israeli military position, no visible movement there. the temporary com on the button, highly deceptive friday afternoon, the israeli military released video of a strike on what it claimed was a military building belonging to his butler >> and what we've seen today >> is there have been more strikes and counter strikes by our count 70 israeli airstrikes on targets along the line that

separates lebanon and israel, as well as eight strikes from his bundle upon his rarely positions. now, even though people here are very worried about the possibility of an expansion of the war to include lebanon >> what >> we've heard from officials very close to hizballah is that the response to the israeli strike? on the iranian consulate in damascus will come from iran and not from its allies are proxies around the region, almost critical reporting >> and a factor to keep an eye on as we of course, wait, any potential retaliation, ben wedeman, jennifer hansler, jeremy diamond. thank you. all. >> still to. come new polling numbers shows the presidential race here in the united states is in a near even split between biden and trump are going to take you live to a key battleground state there's

again, monster go the national poll has joe biden at 45%, donald trump, f 46%. but this is an improvement for biden who trailed by five points in the same poll and february joining us now is pennsylvania lieutenant governor austin davis. he's a democrat serving his first term. it's time to governor. thank you for joining us now, look, president biden is going to be in your state this week on an economic tour, inflation still a top concern for voters and pulls it shows many of them are skeptical of biden's handling of the economy, despite what new numbers may say. so what does the president need to do to convince voters he's earned the right to lead the country and the economy for another four years >> well, thank you so much omar for having me. polls are just a snapshot in time and being from pennsylvania, we know that this election is going to be close. so what we need to do is execute from now until election day, making sure we're talking about president biden and vice president harris is record on

delivering for the american people. and i believe now that the contrast is clear that it's going to be president biden against former president trump. people are just starting to tune into this race. i'm confident by election day, present binds gonna get reelected. that's what i think really the only pull that matters. >> a lot can happen and is scheduled to happen between now and election day. i want to pivot over to guns as well because it's another big issue that could play a big role in the 20th 24 election this week, the biden administration took an important step in an attempt to close the so-called gun show loophole. it gives americans access to firearms at gun shows. and on the internet without background check those gunshots do now, how much of an impact do you believe this is actually going to have on reducing gun and violence are at the very least an improper circulation of guns >> yeah. no, this is an hugely personal issue for me. it's the reason i got involved in public service. i believe this

will have a significant impact as well as all the actions that president biden has taken from the bipartisan safer communities he, act, which was the first piece of common sense gun reform legislation that was passed at the federal level in decades to the creation of the office of gun violence prevention. that's headed up by vice president harris. i think it's gonna be a comprehensive approach to reduce gun violence in our communities. but this is a significant step forward. to make sure that we keep guns out of the hands of folks who shouldn't have them >> yeah. and look, this is this is a step and it really is as far as, as far as we know, this move by the biden administration is a tweak to what the definition of india business of selling guns actually is. so it may encourage others to take some triceps before they actually engage in the sales of guns. so we will see it's going to take about 30 days to go into effect. biden administration also put this new rule out ahead of the 25th anniversary of the columbine school shooting, the gun in that

massacre used the gun show loophole to purchase weapons. and again, this doesn't eliminate all private the seller sales. so could there still be a loophole around, around again, this action that we're expecting to go into place. and a few weeks now, i don't believe so, but there's always there are always things that need to be tightened with the absence of >> a house of representatives that's willing to take on this issue to make communities president biden is doing everything he can in his power to make sure that folks feel safe and arson safe in their communities and governor shapiro and i here in pennsylvania are being strong partners to take on gun violence and make sure our communities are safe because at the end of the day, right now, we know is the number one cause of death for young people in america is gun's not cancer, not car accidents, not it's guns. and president biden and vice president dan harris had been leading on this issue. i believe america is gonna be

safer as a result of this rule change. >> yeah. and we will see once it goes into effect, how much of an impact it actually has. but as you mentioned it does appear to be a significant step. we will see tenant governor austin davis. thanks for being with us >> thank you for having me. of course. >> all right. when we come back, president biden is cutting short his weekend and returning to the white house from delaware. >> what he will do as fears grow over retaliatory attack from iran or its proxy forces in the middle east were talking about cnn central weekdays. that's seven eastern at morgan stanley old hard work meets bold new thinking to help you see untapped possibilities. and relentlessly work with you to make them real >> verizon small business days are coming april 22 to the 28th get our free tech check and

defense lloyd austin, jennifer, what do you know? >> well, omar, we learned that secretary of defense lloyd austin spoke today with his israeli counterpart, by my count, this is the fourth time the two have spoken since that israeli strike on an iranian facility in damascus at the beginning of april. today, according to a readout from the pentagon, the two of them disgust urgent regional threats, and the secretary of defense reiterated get that the us will support around that their support is ironclad there. now, all this is set against the backdrop of what we expect could be an imminent strike potential strike by iran against israel. we see the president returning early from his trip to rehoboth. he was supposed to be spending the whole weekend there. now he is returning to washington later today. to meet with his national security team. of course that team does include secretary austin as well as secretary of state antony blinken blinken has also spoken with the israeli defense minister in recent days. so there is a lot of concern. everyone is on high alert about the regional tensions going on. the potential for this

situation to absolutely explode. omar >> jennifer hansler. thank you. and thank you for staying on top of it. we've had you on a bunch when you get your new updates always come back i want to get some more analysis with suzanne meloni. she's the vice president and director of foreign policy at the brookings institute. >> so >> what do you see as iran strategy right now? are they going to draw out this situation or move ahead quickly with plans for an attack on an israeli target as they have threatened thanks, omar. i think we have to take seriously the warnings that we've heard from the us and other governments. we've seen a number of embassies send their dependent personnel home or essentially close the doors. we've seen a number of airlines actually shut down service to we're iran. and i think that speaks to serious reason to believe that the iranians are poised to retaliate in a significant way. >> yeah >> now, what do you think iran or one of its proxies is likely to attack a us asset in the

middle east or anywhere else. because of course, they have said that because of us support of israel, that the united states is tied into any potential response as well. >> i am less confident that the iranians will strike out directly the united states in the immediate term, i think that's always a risk because of course they consider us an adversary and there's a very long history of iran hitting american targets, including over the course of the past six plus months since the war in gaza erupted. >> yeah. so i guess one of the major concerns here is, look, i don't have to tell you there are a lot of different conflicts playing out in a related but separate fashion, even just with israel they have been going back and forth with hezbollah in southern lebanon. they of course have the war on hamas iran. this is now a much more direct potential threat from the state of iran after the strike in syria of military officials where is a likely

flashpoint for this to potentially become a wider conflict? have we already seen it? >> well, i think the conflict has been widening in a steady way since october 7. is you noted we've seen a number of back-and-forth attacks between israel and hezbollah over the course of the past six months, we've seen proxies related to iran in iraq and syria who have struck israel. and struck america trick in positions in the region. and of course, the houthis have been quite active. the houthi rebels in yemen in terms of attacking civilian maritime traffic in the red sea. so the conflict is already wider, but we haven't yet reached the stage of an all-out war involving multiple state parties. and i think this weekend really does represent a significant risk of moving to a new threshold for this conflict. if iran and israel escalate to an extent that we have a direct conflict between the two. the united states will

inevitably be pulled in. >> yeah, and walk while we're watching the potential risks militarily, diplomatically been many of these countries involved for example, the price of oil has been rising on the back of these rising tensions >> are there other >> aspects of life in these countries are beyond that could constitute wider fallout from a potentially escalating conflict. >> i think the real concern right now is what happens over the course of the next 48 hours or so that seems to be the most intense period of risk in the iranian supreme leader ali khamenei has said that israel will be punished for the attack that killed muhammad reza zahedi and six other senior members of the revolutionary guard-core in a strike on the iranian consulate in damascus. that is considered iranian soil and the iranians are promising to strike back on israeli soil >> that would be >> really an unprecedented step for iran to strike israel proper. it has an in fact been linked to terrorist attacks on israeli targets all around the

world, including diplomatic facilities and argentina, but striking israel proper from iran are directly attributable to iran is really a new threshold for this conflict. >> yeah. yeah. suzanne meloni really appreciate the perspective as you mentioned, a critical 48 hours ahead i really appreciate you being here >> thanks so much. of course. >> just ahead, we got new details on the deadly shooting of 26 year-old dexter reed during a trap having stop in chicago. i'm going to discuss it with the chief administrator for the chicago's civilian office of police accountability. that's investigating what happened tomorrow a >> ninth of space for stoma whole story with anderson cooper, the james webb telescope are we alone followed by? the two part finale of space shuttle columbia, the final flight tomorrow, starting at eight on cnn >> that smell could be 8 million odor causing bacteria.

read shot first as plainclothes officers approaches suv for that traffic stop back on march 21. now, chicago police superintendent says he still needs to hear his officers sayyed of the story and will withhold comment until then >> it's important that we understand that when we have something out there that needs to be investigated less investigated. if we find something >> that we have proven is wrongdoing. let's take action and let's hold people accountable. but let's not litigate this before we even have all of the facts >> now reads family told me he had been feeling increasingly paranoid last year and felt people were out to get him and that he wanted to have a gun to protect himself, a gun was recovered from the r last year he was arrested in part for not having a valid license for the gun. unclear if it was the same one, but also within this is a family who's in morning. here's what a sister told me

earlier this week listen it to the police talking by fans, shots by a black can hear all the shy formal scanner got to kherson many size, so many sappho, many sites >> but didn't know that it was my brother. so dancer no. later on in my that those sites that i hurt and then emily ems going past my shop was my brother. was the most heartbreaking thing that i've ever felt my life joining us now is andrea kirsten. she's the chief administrator for the chicago's civilian office of police accountability. thanks for being here. okay. so dexter reed was pulled over plenty of people were pulled over and it doesn't end in gunfire. but here, dexter reed ended up shooting at the officers first hitting one of them. they shot back for a lot of people that's an opening, closed case explain what exactly is it that you're investigating here

>> so in each and every police shooting, our agency copa is tasked with doing a complete review of everything that is involved in and lead up to a use of deadly force by chicago police and i want to stress that these investigations occur each and every time as chicago police officer uses deadly force against a member of the public where someone has stuck in this particular instance, as in all instances, copa conducts the administrative review, which means we are examining chicago police departments, policies, and training to determine whether office there's complied with those standards. cpd policies relative to the use of deadly force require officers make sure that their actions are objectively reasonable, necessary, and proportional throughout the incident and with all police shootings, we are examining the totality of circumstances. so not just one fact or one fact vector in any given set of information, but those he totality of circumstances which under cpd policy includes both the subject which in this case would be dexter reed's

actions, as well as officers actions prior to the use of force? yeah. and look based on your preliminary report that you've put out so far, reed was initially pulled over, reportedly for not wearing a seat belt though. i know that you've raised some doubts about that behind the scenes. i wanted you to take a listen to the chicago police superintendent when he was asked about that >> now i'm not saying that that couldn't be true but i can't comment on that and i will not comment on that because those officers have not been interviewed and without an interview of the officers, all of the evidence he is not complete so those who are putting that information out into the media are doing so irresponsibly now, look, the pullover at least from our reporting. did come from uls preliminary findings of the incident. but but where are you getting that information from? have you have you had a chance to interview the officers here? >> i want to speak again more

generally about process and each and every police shooting. cope was investigation begins in the immediate aftermath of the shooting in all incidents, including this copa responds to the scene of the police shooting. and there are a couple of key factors that take place upon receiving information about a shooting. and beginning of our investigation, first and foremost, coppa has to work closely with members of the chicago police department and their detective division, specifically, the incident response team, to make sure that the flow of information about the nature and circumstances surrounding the entire entire incident is complete. and so in all police shootings, the officers involved on scene when able, are interviewed by members, high-ranking members of the chicago police department and when officers are not able to be interviewed by on-scene, by cpd members sometimes those interviews take place later on in the process. that's the preliminary information about what led to an encounter that may have turned into a police shooting in all incidents,

right. and then further down the road, once you move past a preliminary investigation and those initially non facts? yes. officers under our authority are compelled, required to come in and be interviewed by copa when they come in for those interviews, they have their flp their union attorney and a union representative with them. and those interviews function a lot look more like depositions where we have an opportunity with all of the evidence now in hand to go point by point through each and every moment, but preliminary information is really important to release to the public, particularly accompanying a video release. and one of this magnitude and preliminary investigations and all police shootings also include the interviews of officers on scene by high-ranking cpd members. >> and so just just just to be clear that at this point that information has come from preliminarily from an interview that may have happened been on scene that night, but not so much in the interview where they would be compelled to sit with coppa

>> correct. okay >> now, i also as part of this you wrote a letter to the chicago police superintendent back in early april where you you were you actually did call that reasoning into question for the initially reported pullover saying copa is uncertain how the officers could have seen this seat belt violation given their local patient relative to its redacted. but dexter reed's vehicle and the tense on reed's vehicle windows, is it fair to say that at this point reed being pulled over in that manner? now that he was was for something else other than a seat belt violation >> now, at there's, time we've put out all the preliminarily available information that we have and can put out so all i can really assure the public is that again, the totality of the circumstances, including officers actions and dexter reed's actions that lead to this use of deadly force and led to this fatal shooting. and an officer being shot, are all of what we will be examining as our investigation continues

>> and the last thing before we go, because we have to go quickly i do want to give you a chance to respond since you were implicated by the police superintendent there who implied that putting out some of this preliminary information with the release here was irresponsible in regards to the seat belt violation do you have any response to that >> no. >> we really understand at copa that transparency around these issues is of critical importance to the public. transparency, however, really needs to work the same way every time in order for it to be meaningful. and coppa has a long history of complying with the city's video released policy in all of these police shootings dating back to 2016. and the way in which we craft our public statements surrounding these issues is knowing that we have to we have to find that balance between making sure the public is informed, but also preserving and maintaining the integrity of our investigations. and we have a long and proven i'm in track record of doing just that. >> andrew kirsten really appreciate you taking the time. i know it's been a busy week.
