jeremy diamond in tel aviv. and this is cnn moment in american history tomorrow for the first time, prosecutors will present opening statements and a criminal trial of a former president donald trump will walk into a manhattan courtroom tomorrow morning, where he will hear the state's case against him. he's facing dozens of charges related to an alleged hush money payment to adult film actress stormy daniels made before the 2016 election this is the first of four criminal cases against trump to go on trial. cnn's marshall cohen joining us right now with more on all this, marshall walk us through what the trial just might look like. >> hey fred, its history in the making with opening statements scheduled for tomorrow morning in new york. this is the very first time in our nation's

history that a former president will sit for a criminal trial. let's just zoom out fred and remind everybody how the heck we got here donald trump is facing 34 felony charges. these are state charges brought by the manhattan district attorney. the alleged crime is falsifying business records because of that hush money payment to stormy daniels, which went through trump's former attorney, michael cohen, and then he was reimbursed first do the trump org, which is a business registered in new york that's the alleged crime we all watched last week as they whittled down the jury pool to reach a panel of 12 jurors and six alternates. they are ready to go. >> this trial is expected to last probably about six weeks with a verdict, perhaps coming in june, are in the early summer. >> and of course, donald trump has pleaded not guilty and he denies the affair with donald trump. so opening statements

tomorrow. what's that going to look like? what's that going to sound like? you won't be able to see it and you won't be able to hear it because there's no cameras in the courtroom but we have a team of reporters that will be there chronicling every little development. and we're expecting prosecutors to start telling the story. they have a ton of witnesses lined up ready to go to explain to the jury what happened back in 2016 and why in their opinion, it's a crime the prosecution is expected to call folks like michael cohen, as i mentioned, the longtime attorney to donald trump, who has turned against him and is in many ways the star witness in this case stormy daniels, who alleged the affair and got the hush money payment to $130,000. there's also hope hicks, trump campaign official back in 2016, who was part of that behind the scenes scramble to try to make sure that there weren't negative stories like these coming out in the press. there's also karen mcdougal. you see there on the bottom left she is another woman who alleged in a

with donald trump. her story was purchased by david on the right, who was the head two of the national enquirer tabloid. he bought that story according to prosecutors, so that he could bury it, so it would never see the light of day. it's what they call catch and kill fred that's the theory of the prosecution that donald trump conspired essentially with these other people to suppress these negative stories too. who prevent the voters from hearing about it in 2016 and then covered it up in the business records that's the theory of the case and the prosecutors will lay it out tomorrow. >> okay. and many of the pictures there, many of those participants could be called, as eyewitnesses. all right. marshall cohen thanks so much. all right. for more now on this unprecedented trial, i'm joined now by senior jury consultant at imf legal strategies and melissa gomez, she has also the author of the book jury trials outside in

leveraging psychology from discovery to decision melissa great to see you. >> there there's a lot of pressure on this jury. i mean, that's an understatement, right supporters and critics of former president are adding to that pressure. >> are you concerned that after this weekend judge, immer schon may hear from jurors who went out because of fear or pressure that could potentially happen. >> but remember fredricka in the very beginning, the judge asked the entire veneer, who cannot be fair and impartial. if someone was not willing to serve, they had an easy out at that moment& that typically isn't that easy. >> so you started with the panel a week ago of jurors that indicated that they were willing and able to serve. >> so i think the risk of that is smaller than it would be if he hadn't conducted the initial void de in that manner well, there are six alternates but no, judge wants to have to need

them at least at the start of trial. >> oh, will judge merge kind of persuade them, offer these jurors are reassurance about how important it is to really hang in there absolutely. >> well, and this is something that happens in a lot of trials that have alternates these jurors understand that they pay to the evidence as everyone else you never know what can happen, especially in a six-week trial. the length of trial is really what determines it's the number of alternates that are needed. people can get sick, there can be something that happens that causes someone to drop out and those jurors know that if someone drops out in six weeks for whatever reason, they're up okay. >> so what kind of protections can a judge perhaps put in place for these jurors? >> i think just talking to them

about the importance of the decision that they're making. but i don't necessarily think that he needs to let them know that. i mean, you talked about pressure on this jury. there is absolutely pressure on this jury. they understand the importance of what they're doing. they understand that the country in the world is watching and they've already indicated that they were willing to be there. so i think just the appreciation for their time reminding them that they too are extraordinarily important to this process. this process can happen without these alternative being there in order to make sure that we're protecting this problem process in the event that something happens to one of the other jurors. the defendant, donald trump, has been seen turning around, looking at prospective jurors during the selection process there is also, of course, intense press coverage. one dismissed juror called the experience of that trial a bit intimidating. so what instructions do you think might still be given to the jurors? whether it be before

opening statements, just who, offer reassurances about the responsibility at hand. and what they have already sworn to do. >> i think the reassurances will come from there together in this process. they're not there in isolation. but i think that a lot of it will come to trying to control the outside influence that is on this jury. they're going to be instructed don't google anything, don't look up the news, even if they're not sequester, they're going to be instructed very strongly not to look at any external information about this trial. and that's where a lot of those pressures may come from where people can start to feel intimidated and uncomfortable because it's not just understanding the importance of the decision that they're making, but i'm sure we're that each and every one of them fully understand that no matter what decision they are going to make, there will be a response from the public. >> all right. um, let's look

about the look at the assemble jury are 12 jurors in all six alternates, wide range of backgrounds from investment bankers to lawyers and english teacher, a physical therapy paste. among the 12 seven menn five women, as someone who has studied the psychology of juries is there anything that you can glean that might indicate some things strong about this jury? what i noticed about this jury is this is a very sophisticated panel you have to lawyers on this panel, this is very unusual. you, in any kind of jury trial, lawyers often want a strike or remove other attorneys because of their knowledge of the law. but i think that there are special circumstances here that are causing some decisions to have been made that may be a bit unprecedented are maybe a bit unusual so having jurors who understand the law and remember

what the goal of this jury is, what they're supposed to do is decide whether donald trump is innocent or guilty of these specific charges. and so the integrity of the judicial process is going to be paramount given the implications that this trial has on the political election to have to lawyers who work in the judicial system who care about the integrity of the judicial system it's gonna be very important another thing that i noticed about this juries that it's quite diverse and diversity really creates a lot of discussion. it creates a good place for deliberation and compromise. and so having a jury that is that diverse is going to be helpful to the process. now, there's no way to know which way that's going to land. but the thing to keep in mind for donald trump is that he doesn't necessarily just need a defense verdict if he has one juror it. does not

want to convict and who stands there ground he doesn't get convicted. and the trial he would have to start over again if he doesn't get a unanimous verdict in either direction. >> all right. melissa gomez will leave it there. thank you so much. >> you're welcome. great to be here. all right. of course will have full coverage tomorrow. >> still the calm several people are injured after a tram crashed at the universal studios theme park in hollywood. what led to the collision that straight ahead and weekend protests at columbia university has a jewish campus leader advising jewish students not to return to the campus today because he says it's unsafe details after the break there's new ally in the fight against climate change. >> this is new car business bucaram, just me to protect nature will do the rest plus cnn filled tonight at noon oh, no running oil with chewy

welcome back pricing and biden is urging the us senate to quickly pass a massive $95 billion foreign aid package that clear the us house of representatives after months of wrangling the senate will have to come back from recess this week to vote on the package before sending it to the president for signature. it would give ukraine hey, and $61 much of it in desperately needed military aid. israel gets 26 billion. a lot of that is for its missile defense systems. and 8 billion goes to allies in asia, particularly taiwan. priscilla alvarez is in washington for us fred pleitgen is in kyiv, ukraine facility first what happens now with this vote in the senate? >> well, it is expected to pass in the senate when they begin voting on tuesday afternoon, that according to senate majority leader chuck schumer. and then as you mentioned there, the president is expected to sign it to then quickly send weapons and equipment to ukraine to meet the urgent battlefield needs. that is what the president's

said in a statement released on saturday following the passage of these national security bells and fred that this was a win for the white house. they have been urging for the passage of these funds for months now, noting that it was urgent and necessary for ukraine to get the assistance. so as not to cede any ground to russia. and the way that the white house is often frame. this is it is a national security priority, is in the interests of the united states to help their allies, like ukraine and israel. and i'm told by a white house official that on saturday afternoon, president biden spoke with speaker johnson and house minority leader jeffries separately to thank them for getting this across the finish line. of course, there's still a problem process that needs to play out here. but us officials have consistently said that once this is passed and once it's signed by the president, they could begin to get that assistance to ukraine, israel, as well as surge humanitarian aid. in fact, yesterday in a statement, defense secretary austin said the package would quote surge, lifesaving security assistance to ukraine

support israel and increase the flow of humanitarian aid to gaza. so us officials say, look, this is a long time coming and they need to see it all the way through so that they can get that help to allies. as the us tries to reaffirm its leadership on the world stage, read, write. priscilla, thanks so much to fred play can now in kyiv, what does this mean for you? crane in the coming weeks and perhaps months well, they think that they with this assistance from the united states, possibly are going to be able to hold up some of those russian advances that we've been seeing over the past couple of months. >> of course, we have seen certain things that the russians have been able to do because the ukrainians have been short on artillery ammunition, but also short on air defenses. sims as well. for instance, the russians now much more effective as using their own air force because they've managed to essentially turn a lot of the cold war bombs that they have into guided munitions. now, outfitting them with wings, able to drop those much further away from the frontline. so the ukrainians are saying they need air defense systems really badly. they need artillery ammo really badly as well. in fact, the

president of this country, volodymyr zelenskyy, but he came out not long ago today and said, he's obviously very grateful for this aid package that came out, but he also says, from the time that decisions are made to stuff hitting the battlefield, that a process needs to just be sped up a lot. now, here in kyiv today, i was actually able to speak with vladimir politico, who of course is the former world boxing champion, the brother of the mayor of key of and also still very much involved in the defense of this country. and here's what he said about why this aid package is so important. let's us now today as a great potential to change the frontline so we can in ukraine defend us better it sends also very important signal to put in russia that you're not going to win this war, this senseless war that has been started over 2.5 years ago, almost two years ago it sends a message of motivation for us, ukrainians that we are

not alone it did send also for republicans and democrats in the, in this critical moments to stand together and make this decision together. >> to protect democracy in this world and not surprisingly, the russians have a very different reaction to all of this stuff. >> fredreka and phrack to a foreign ministry of russia came out, did and accused the us of using ukrainians is quoting cannon fodder. obviously the ukrainian see that very differently. they believed that they have a good chance let's to take the fight back to the russians. one of the things for instance, that happened today also because of that lack of artillery ammunition, the russian say that they were able to take a pretty key village in the east of the country near the town of chasiv yar, which is also very important for the russians trying to move forward westward as they're trying to push back the ukrainian military. so the ukrainians really he say, as we heard there from volodymyr klitschko, that this was a big morale boost to them, and they hope very much that'll be a very big boost for them on the battlefield as well as their set to get ammunition and

possibly also some of those air defence missiles that they say they need so badly on the front lines, but also to protect cities like the one that i am in right now, fredreka all right. >> fred pleitgen in kyiv. thanks so much. and priscilla alvarez from washington are let's get more analysis now on these developments, ambassador a. bill taylor is the former us ambassador to ukraine and vice president of russia and europe at the us institute of peace at great to see you ambassador. so what do you expect the immediate impact? might be once this bill gets final passage through the senate and then eventually signed by the president. >> so frederick is exactly as you've been reporting. this is a big morale boost for the ukrainians and us military is ready to go with this equipment and this ammunition that you've been talking about, it we will go very quickly. in fact, is i imagined for rca that the ukrainian military has been holding back because they weren't sure this was coming now that they know it's

coming, they can probably release more of their dwindling stocks, but i would imagine we'll have an immediate effect on the battlefield. & you've been keeping you in touch with a president zelenskyy is top aide. >> what's what is the conversation been like inside zelensky's inner circle? >> they've been super focused on exactly what's going on and that you've been reporting on in the house of representatives . they watch it very carefully they're very pleased. of course, that this has finally been resolved. as mr. klitschko just said, that bipartisan support, which they've always tried to keep, was there the overwhelmingly by support. that's what they need to be able to keep going on this fight. >> i mean, these billions of dollars we're talking about $60 billion to ukraine the expectation shouldn't be that it would end the war, right? but is there a feeling that ukraine would still have to come back to the us for more help and given how difficult it

was to get this package what is the feeling inside ukraine about having to need more if this doesn't do the trick very good. >> this is clearly going to keep them going. this has got allows them to fight through this, through the end of this year for sure and they are hopeful that with this these weapons and this ammunition, they've just passed it. you've been reporting they passed a new bill that will allow them to recruit more soldiers that they need into the military. they get new weapons, new soldiers, new training they'll, they'll have an ability to refresh the units it had been fighting for over two years, two-and-a-half years. and so they have the hope that they'll be able to push the russians back once they do that, once they regain the momentum at some point later this year, then they think, yes, they will they be able to demonstrate to their allies, to the europeans, to the americans that this is worthy of support and they i think that support will continue so once a signal, you

think that's being sent to russia, they know it's going to take time between the us senate. >> they're watching everything between the us senate passing this& the president signing how might the russians be taking advantage of this time? or might it change their strategy in any way, knowing that more weaponry is on the way, but it's not there just yet this dot there just yet, but they can, they can anticipate that the ukrainians will be using what they have in anticipation of arrival of the new, of the new weapons. >> so they've yes, they've been taking advantage hundreds of this slowdown in us assistance. and so they will have to take that into consideration. the other thing that they have to consider now is president biden might have been right when you said for as long as it takes, he's demonstrated that there is bipartisan support for ukraine. and this has got to be discouraging for the russians all right, ambassador bill taylor. great to be with us.

thank you so much. thank you. fredreka all right. >> coming up as jewish communities across the country get ready to celebrate passover will tell you why the fbi is concerned about violent threats against the community okay there's new ally in the fight against climate change. >> this is in car business blue car i think we just need to protect nature will do the rest corbin plus cnn fill tonight at noon when you buy or sell your car exactly how you want with car gurus, you might begin to wonder what if you could do things your way all the time some dreams do come true. >> get your car, your way. get it with gurus.

we've been creating it for more than 100 years, from the most advanced technology to the broadest, most reliable network of sales and service dealers. always moving forward. we lead. others follow. 180501, 3636 called now, i've are still alvarez at the white house and this is cnn all right, in the new cnn film blue carbon natures hidden power, viewers follow grammy nominated dj and environmental toxicologist jaded g, on her journey of learning more about a new ally in the fight to

combat climate change. >> take a look. >> i've been touring the world with my music and now i want to focus on what's happening to our planet the hardest thing when it comes to crime i would change that. >> it just feels so big and overwhelming i like to concentrate on the stories where there is hope because they are out there i'm going to visit coastal communities that have a new ally in the fight against climate change it's called blue carbon these are habitats which can conserve biodiversity by away too happy protect our cities. >> again, storms and rising seas and help us turn down all

right, joining us right now to discuss his marine scientists and environmental entrepreneur and climate risk expert, dr. deborah brosnan. >> great to see you, doctor. so blue carbon, wonderful. so blue carbon. i mean i guess it's a new discovery. it's not a new ally, is it? it's just a new realisation of things that have been in place for a very long time. >> exactly. >> blue carbon is a new word for something that's been going on and we've been depending on for tens of thousands of years these coaston ecosystem's kelp forests, coaston marshes, mangroves, seagrass beds, literally pull carbon from out of the atmosphere and they turn it into grows so when you look at a mangrove tree or a coastal marsh, you're literally looking at living carbon. >> and they've been doing this forever. and for us and since

the industrial revolution, they have absorbed about a third of the excess carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. they do it better and they do it faster than any other ecosystem so are you hoping out of this that what it will help launch is perhaps greater urgency to protect these ecosystems absolutely because if we protect nature& these ecosystems, these ecosystems protect us so mangroves not only sequester four times more carbon than tropical rainforest, but they stopped storm surge. >> if you have about a half-mile of a mangrove fringe, the water level coming in and a storm goes down by about a fraudulent big quarters. that's a huge difference between getting flooded and not getting flooded and then there are a major source of fisheries. and one-and-a-half billion people, particularly in developing nations, depend on fisheries. so what i'm hoping is that it's going to make people more aware of not just the carbon and climate value

for this huge ecosystem value that the system is provide for us every single day. and it will change how we think we can make it change. how we do business. >> so then in your view, what, what are the biggest threats to these ecosystems right now? >> the biggest threat to these ecosystems of first of all, that we don't value them when we don't recognize what they do for us and after that, we're looking at how we treat them because we don't recognize them. so let me give you an example. if you think today of how cities expand or how real estate develops, the first thing that happens is we look at engineering we take away the landscape we put in an engineered structure and then, we put back the landscape. this can change it to say, what is the value of that ecosystem that's there? how do we align with that ecosystem to give us more benefits great livelihoods. and of course, investors that all, all important return on investment, we can literally changed the way we protect our planet. and that in turn will benefit are resilient and ourselves to the

tune of trillions of dollars. and a better lifestyle so this documentary is unique, right? >> because it brings together film, music a science to highlight climate crisis. as a scientist who works to create so real world solutions. what are some other ways that people can get involved in caring about this issue? what are you hoping this documentary is going to help enlighten? >> so beyond raising awareness and letting you realize that ecosystems really are very cool. i think the best thing it can do as to galvanize people to get involved. now there's many ways you can get involved locally. and the kinds of restoration projects that are going on around the world, whether it's seagrass whether it's mangrove restoration, there are lots of opportunities to engage with non-profit organizations are for-profit organizations to do this kind of work either professionally or as a volunteer. that's one of the major things you can do. the second is to educate yourself and raise awareness b. and advocate for these

ecosystems. be an advocate for doing in business in the world differently dr. deborah brosnan. >> thank you so much. >> sure. to tune in everybody two, the cnn films presents blue carbon natures, hidden power. >> it premieres tonight at 9:00 p.m. eastern pacific only on cnn all right. straight ahead. >> taylor swift's new album has ushered in a whole new era for the pop star will share how fans are reacting to the tortured poets department. that's next hour in the cnn newsroom. >> central weekdays that's seven eastern with chewy save 20% on your first pharmacy order. >> so you can put an end to the edge get flea and tick medication delivered right to your door dude, what are you doing i'm protecting my car.

temperatures will be in place. most of them are going to be able across interior portions of new england as we go into the date early wednesday, but by thursday we finally start to see that system exit overall, most of these areas not really looking at a ton of rain or snow for that matter, at this point, it's really just to do since we're all ready to move on to spring at this 0.1. other thing though, is even the rain is a nuisance for some areas. take a look at pittsburgh, for example, currently sitting in second place for wettest april on record, they may get awfully close to that. number one slot by the next rain system that moves through this week. >> all right, thanks, alison so much are putting away some of that winter where all right. >> that's the iconic song from the 80s movie footloose starring kevin bacon. will four decades after the movie is
