8:00 am
it back they were trying to show how everything fits in this skinny little ipad, which it is a very skinny. it was a rare misstep for them. they'd been known for their terrific ads and they had put out a number of great ads. but this one, i kind of like it because it's a trend on tiktok to crush things. but for the, in this case, it looks like they're crushing creators of big tech company and so rare misstep, buy apples. >> so i'm mean, just so if people get the real sense of it the tatars via land for nubs, everything was cropped. >> up with this tiny, thin me ipad, i call ozempic ipad. yes. but you don't think that this was a start and i knew was going to create a big controversy and they're getting a lot of public. >> apple's really talking about what's known as a creator friendly place. and i think a lot of people reacted like that doesn't seem very creative, friendly to crush. it was creative though. let's watch i weird destruction. i weirdly. all right. gang. thank you all for being here and thank you for spending part of
8:01 am
your day with us and we'll see you right back here next week hello. >> everyone. thank you so much for joining inferred rica whitfield. this is our special live our of the cnn newsroom, the amanpour, our returns next saturday at this time 11:00 a.m. eastern all right. happening right now, an extreme geomagnetic storm hitting earth, threatening to cause major disruptions around the globe. a series of solar flares. and what are known as coronal mass ejections from the sun are hurdling toward our planet. it's the strongest solar storm to hit earth since 2003. it sounds really ominous experts say hey it has the potential to cause a real danger. solar flares can triggered communication. gps, any electrical device malfunctions. that's the scary stuff. starlink says it has already been experiencing degraded service. the white house at several telecom
8:02 am
companies are monitoring potential impacts but beyond those disruptions, some are really excited about it because much of the us and canada are being treated to a rare and spectacular show in this god that's the good stuff aurora borealis, the northern lights are being seen as far south as georgia and alabama. and if you miss last night, you may get another chance to experience it cnn's allison chin, char is tracking all the effects. i mean, we started off with all the ominous, scary stuff, but really people are just enjoying the spectacular lights at some people. so i didn't see i went to bend too early, but a lot of other folks saw it last night? >> yes. and truly in places you would never even think of when reports that people sought in the bahamas read when you think about how far said you those pictures that you see where snow and palm trees together and do something about it just doesn't seem right the same. >> take a look at this image. this is from just south of jacksonville. you've got the
8:03 am
poem tree and the lights in the distance, just something very, very rare, but yes, people in very far south places were able to see these. but if you were one like fred who may miss the opportunity last night, the good news is there another chance to see it? and that's going to be tonight. now, we did have the g5. that's the highest level on the scale. you can get the event from yesterday and then also hitting a g5 event today. he that's the first time we've done that since october of 2003. so you're talking it's been 20 years, incredibly rare for these to make it this far south. now again, when it comes to, when is that second chance exactly. that's what people want to know. it's going to meet tonight, but it's really going to focus on the earlier end of the evening. so if you can get out right as soon as the sunsets that is going to be your best ideal time still available later on, but you can see it gradually decreases as we go later into the overnight hours and especially into tomorrow morning. so here's what's actually happening. you've got this yellow dot that is the sun. this is earth.
8:04 am
these are the solar winds. this is the first wave that came i'm through yesterday evening. that's the first round everybody saw. and then this is going to be the secondary wave that will come through tonight. that's when everybody is going to get say, a second chance to really see these again, in terms of who will have the opportunity. obviously the farther north you go, the better opportunity you will have. but even these areas down hearing yellow still stand a pretty good chance of being able to see it. so yes, states like alabama, georgia, arizona, even florida, could see it again today, the caveat will be, do you have clouds because that's really going to be the only thing that would obscure it we do have a lot of cloud cover, expected rate here, especially texas, louisiana, arkansas, mississippi, that could cause some problems. there also into the north area is of pennsylvania, new york, vermont looking at clouds and also the chance of rain. but elsewhere should be relatively clear skies to be able to really get some good images here. again, they are being seen farther south than we
8:05 am
normally would be. yes, there's the potential for some of those power outages and communicate patients issues. but essentially what's happening is that is that flare comes out. you've got the solar wind and going around earth's magnetic field, and that's what's triggering those spectacular colors also to noting that the speed at which it's been going, that's what's allowing different colors. so usually when you see this, it's the green color, but because this has been particularly fast and particularly farther south than usual, you're starting to see more of the pink and the red colors come in even just a little bit different from a normal perspective, yes, again here this from fort lauderdale, florida. again, these beautiful images of these colors coming out. but if you're farther north, you're not just seeing the pinks and the reds, you're getting all of the colors like this image from seattle fred, they've got the greens, the purple's the red is basically absolutely every color. imagine, oh, my gosh. and you don't need any special i year. i mean, this is what the naked eye people were taking some of these images with their for cell phones? >> yes. and again, and that's the thing sometimes you can actually see it clearer on the phone and you can own eyes, but
8:06 am
you can still see it. and that's cool. >> neto. all right, i'm gonna try it again tonight. i'm staying up, but i understand. i'll have to stay up as late. >> no. okay. goody. all right. allison can charge so much. >> all right. let's talk more about all this. i want to bring in tarik bleak. he is a managing editor for space.com okay, break this down for us. earthlings, how difficult is it to predict when one of these geomagnetic storms will actually flare up. i mean, this is a first in 20 years, right? >> well, we've had a very active period of solar flares and space weather activity from the sun over the last year or so, because we're kind of at a point that space whether the experts called solar maximum basically the sun has an 11 year whether cycle just like earth has the daily weather cycle here on the ground and scientists have been mapping that over time and we're at a really a particular active phase of it. they think about the peak of this 11 year cycle and that's when we're going
8:07 am
to see a lot of these active solar stars these huge events and in fact, the sunspot group that unleashed the flares were seeing is something like 17 times bigger than our planet so that's really exciting to see from space weather perspective. >> oh, my gosh, it's so excited when the world is it about this year, i mean, we are barely just getting over the whole total lunar eclipse clubs that we just experienced in all. and now we're lucky enough to experience something like this. if only we would stay awake at which is what i'm gonna do tonight to watch something like this. if you're in an area in which this will be visible to you, i mean i mean, how do we make of all this? amazing great fortune in one year i could tell you it's a really great time to be a solar scientist for just someone that enjoys tracking space weather and watching a eclipses or that organized. >> i've never had a chance to see one, and that'll tell you i had serious fomo because it was raining here in an west orange
8:08 am
new jersey when everyone else was seeing these amazing northern lights, as far south as horta, that we got reports in the promise early it was amazing how so that's all the good stuff now, then what about the flip side to it where there are real concerns about the interruptions that might come where at greater risk for increased radiation from the sun during these kind of solar storms help us kind of prioritize the risks yeah, so it's not all like fun and light shows for these events. in fact, as you heard earlier, there are radio blackout events, were radio communications. do get disrupted and our satellites and astronauts in orbit are particularly susceptible because if there are accompanying radiation storms that can endanger astronauts that are in orbit, there's seven on the international space station right now, three on china's space station as well. and they would have to go to a particularly shielded portion of their vehicles or even be ready to leave orbit if
8:09 am
there was a severe emergency. i've been tracking nasa since yesterday when the noaa space weather group did issue some advisories so far, it doesn't seem like they have any of those radiation concerns yet, but we know that they were talking with noah and they were tracking these storms just to be sure and they satellite disruptions. gps and communication satellites, they can be disrupted. we already heard some notes about spacex's starlink system that will have to be watched over time because we just had two major flares in the last ten hours as well, stronger even than the earlier ones we saw this week. so it will be lasting throughout the weekend, if not longer, need out. >> okay. so i guess well, yeah, it's neto to me. >> all right. so last time you were on the show for the total eclipse? that's you said you wanted to experience that event with your family. is this going to be a family experience? again for you this weekend you know, the sky is here in new jersey are clear and if that
8:10 am
holds there are some dark spots, at least here on our statement, we can drive. >> it's not too far away. it would be great to go have dinner and hopefully that light show if the weather holds and these conditions hold g5 is, as you heard, it's been over 20 years since we've seen this level of a geomagnetic storm. and we may not see it again. they're fairly rare. and so it would be great too, if you've got the time, if you've got clear skies, and if you've if you've got less, less light pollution, although we've seen a lot of people seeing these with the city lights to i think that we could all be in for a treat and a bit of a mother's day, night sky show. >> after brunch. >> oh, that sounds nice. all right. well, i'm staying up tonight as latest i can i'm looking forward to the show and i2 will be watching it with family tarik malloch. thank you so much. good to see you again. >> thank you all right. >> still ahead. >> israel is intensifying

8:16 am
several more neighborhoods. >> rafah, the new evacuation order follows thursday's approval by israel security cabinet to expand the area of operation in rafah which empowers the war cabinet to make military decisions. there without consulting the security cabinet all of this comes as the biden administration is modifying its commitment to supplying certain weapons to israel with conditions we'll have more from the white house in a moment, but first i want to bring in cnn's scott mclean, who is following the latest developments in gaza. so scott, what's happening? >> hey, for drinker, yeah, a new round of airstrikes in northern and central gaza are flooding hospital with hospitals with a new wave of victims, including a journalist, his wife and 12-year-old son, and there may be more dead as people continue to pick through the rubble there with really little more than their bare hands and when
8:17 am
you watch the images of the aftermath of the strikes and the chaos inside the hospitals that are taking in those victims. it is frankly hard to watch. many of those victims are children. some of them are tiny little infants who look like they're just a few months old. the idf declined to comment on these overnight strikes other than to say that it follows international law and that it takes measures to mitigate civilian harm that is worth noting only because the state apartment yesterday just came out with a report suggesting that israel is it is reasonable to assess in its words that israel has not always followed international law. now, idea the idf, as you mentioned, fredricka is warning people in parts of northern gaza and in five districts of rafah to move we've to safer areas. those southern evacuees are supposed to be moving to a humanitarian zone along the coastline where it says that
8:18 am
there are some 300,000 people. now there that is the double the estimate that they gave on thursday. this is an area though where people have pitch tents along the roadway and along the coastline, but there is very little in the way of infrastructure to support that volume of people. there were also people we know inside of rafah who are struggling to get out. some are unwilling to move, others are struggling with the difficulties involved in moving around this active area and also with the cost of it in some cases, and israel, as you mentioned, it seems pretty undeterred by the american position and the pausing of weapons shipments, not wanting to be involved in this stepped up assault on the rafah area. it says that it has enough weaponry to go it alone this just as aid to southern gaza slows to a trickle, if that despite the us and israel seen that some aid has gotten in, in recent days, the latest word that we have from the
8:19 am
palestinian sayyed and the world food program is that none got in on either wednesday, thursday, or friday of this week, fredricka all right. >> scott mclean in istanbul. thanks so much. we'll touch-based with you again the biden administration is acknowledging israel likely used us weapons in ways that are i'm quoting now, inconsistent with international humanitarian law, but stopped short of officially saying israel violated the law. the new state department report comes just days after biden told cnn's erin burnett that if prime minister benjamin netanyahu orders a major invasion of rafah up that he would stop sending certain weapons to israel. cnn correspondent priscilla alvarez is in seattle on the campaign trail with president biden person hello good morning to you. so this report is sharply critical of israel's military campaign in gaza. what are you learning from the white house it. >> is fredricka. this was a high-stakes report and a highly
8:20 am
anticipated one that just works. another stark moment in us israeli relations. now this report put together by the, by the biden administration found that it is reasonable to assess that us weapons have been used by israeli forces in gaza in ways that are inconsistent with it. international humanitarian law. but to your point, they did they stop short of saying that israel violated the law. now, this stems from a february national security memorandum that required the determination on this matter, but also whether israel withheld humanitarian aid from gaza in violation of us law now, this is also the first time the us has made such an assessment since those october 7 attacks in israel. now, to your point, it is critical, but it is also not going to change the actions by israel or doesn't trigger policy changes. all of this according to the report, rather, the way that it has been taught it's about by senior administration officials is that it is a tool in their
8:21 am
conversations with israel to change behaviors or raise issues that they are seeing and have determined are not in compliance with international law. but this of course comes against the backdrop of president biden's saying that he would withhold some weapons shipments to israel, either as a major ground invasion in rafah, rafah, of course, being that region that has over 1 million displaced palestinians now in his interview with cnn, the first time that he said this, he also noted that he will continue defensive weapons to israel, but what calls into question is whether he would continue those offensive weapons depending on whether they move into rafah. of course, rafah, a huge point of concern for the united states who does not see an operation there as tenable, just given the number of civilians that are in that region have been displaced in that region. but all of this fredricka goes to show the continuing underlying tensions between the us and israel as israel wages its war against hamas and priscilla, what's been the reaction from
8:22 am
critics of the report who say that the vitamin, the striation is not going far enough to hold that in yahoo government accountable. >> for what's happening we've heard from democratic senators who, while they may agree with what is found in the report, the fact that it will provoke some type of change in policy or the way that the us is giving weapons to israel, ease a major point of tension. >> humanitarian aid organizations also xu what some. of the findings because they themselves say that they have seen humanitarian aid not be able to get into gaza and that it isn't in compliance with us. also, there's certainly some pushback here. but generally speaking, it was a big moment for this report to come out in the big question is going to be what, if anything, changes moving forward now that this is another data point of the biden ministration hasn't. it's ongoing discussions with israel all right. >> priscilla alvarez traveling with the president in seattle. thanks so much all right. >> straight ahead. prosecutors and donald trump's hush money

8:28 am
attorneys told the judge if a recent tiktok video in which cohen was wearing a shirt with a picture of trump behind bars cnn's kara scannell has details prosecutors, star witness michael cohen is expected to testify on monday in former president donald trump's hush money trial. >> cohen, trump's former attorney and fixer. is that the crux of the criminal case against him? prosecutors say cohen paid off adult-film star stormy daniel's on trump's behalf to kill her story of an alleged affair before the 2016 election, trump denies the affair somebody pays so it was a legal expense that somebody happens to be meeting i didn't do the bookkeeping. >> i didn't know about it. this is what the case is about. >> cohen told his political beat down podcast co-host on thursday that he looks forward to testifying sooner or this thing starts, the sun to this thing finishes after a defense
8:29 am
request, judge juan merchan told prosecutors he wants cohen to keep quiet about the case before he takes the stand, but he can't issue a gag order on a witness. something trump express frustration about as he left court there is no gag to michael. >> go with the judge. did was amazing why does amazing everybody can say whatever they want. they can say whatever they want i'm not allowed to say anything about anybody it's a disgrace prosecutors called witnesses to the stand to help lay the groundwork for cohen's upcoming testimony. >> in 18 analyst introduced cohen's phone records and back on the stand, trump's former white house aide, madeleine westerhout, testified about trump's reaction to the release of daniel story in 2018, westerhout tests if i trump was upset by it and her understanding was that it would be hurtful to his family she later clarified trump did not specifically speak about his family in that conversation trump's lawyers suggested he made the $130,000 hush money
8:30 am
pay off to daniel's in order to protect his family? meanwhile, prosecutors argue he did it to influence the 2016 election, which was two weeks away, and came on the heels of the access hollywood tape damaging his campaign when you're starting to let you do it, you can do anything but trump's lawyer, susan necheles is as westerhout about the process of trump signing checks. >> westerhout said trump would sign and then while multitasking, doing things like talking on the phone or meeting with people, she described fedex thing, the sign checks back to the trump organization. prosecutors used westerhout to show the chain of command of checks, like the one sent to cohen to reimburse him for the hush money cohen testified before congress about the allegations in 2019. >> donald trump wrote you a check out of his personal account while he was serving as president of the united states of america to reimburse you for hush money payments? >> yes, mr. chairman, another
8:31 am
witness, a paralegal at the district strict attorney's office, read one of trump's tweets about the monthly payments to cohen, which trump called a retainer. trump said, mr. cohen and attorney received a monthly retainer, not from the campaign and having nothing to do with the campaign, the tweet came around the time his former lawyer, rudy giuliani, told fox news host sean hannity that trump reimbursed cohen for the hush money that cohen paid for it out of his own pocket having something to do with paying some stormy daniels woman 130,000. i mean, which is going to turn out to be perfectly legal that money was not campaign money. they funneled the true law firm, follow-through, and the president repaid it. >> this capta week were the jury saw that that prosecutors say were falsified in this case, the invoices, the general ledger entries, and the checks. it also heard from the woman stormy daniels. that's at the center of the hush money payment next week, it will be michael cohen squaring off against the man he said he would once take a bullet for
8:32 am
prosecutors, say they could rest their case by the end of the week kara scannell, cnn new york, are joining me right now to talk more about the cases. geoff swartz, he is a former or florida judge. judge. great to see you nice to see you, too. >> all right. well, it's hard to believe it. this could be wrapping up by the end of the week. i mean, it seems like it's gone by so fast. so let's zero in on this star witness, michael cohen, he's made it pretty clear that he despises donald trump and we heard that from stormy daniels two in her testimony so how will prosecutors tried to keep cohen on track with the chronology of the money trail record keeping without the personal acrimony, upstaging things that's going to be hard to do because michael is rather explosive at times. so they're real, the real test in this direct examination is, can they keep him on track? and then when he goes to cross, can he
8:33 am
hold his temper as they try to? do things to bring about a change of his attitude he can win the de if he in fact, keeps a calm and professional. if he loses his temper, start shouting, starts making accusations using words that are pejorative that's going to be a problem. but the prosecutors should start and do everything in a chronological order. starting with when he first started working for donald trump. and working his way through all the way to when he finally was charged and had to plead guilty they should be bringing out all of the bad stuff that the defense attorney is going to try to bring out, like you've been convicted of a crime, you're a convicted liar. all those things that would be asked by the defense before the defense can do it so that the jury knows that the state is not trying to hide anything that's the important part. >> wow, very important. so credibility does cohen have a
8:34 am
credibility problem because he went to jail for perjury or because of him admitting to making things up, and that too was part of his job while representing trump well, that's part of the problem. part of the problem first is to bring out the lies that he told on behalf of donald trump. that'll be part of the chronological order that they'll go through. the, second thing is that when in fact, when we when prosecutors have witnesses that are involved in the crimes that were committed they need those people, especially in conspiracies, because the only people who know who was in the conspiracy or the conspirators. so they find their witnesses as they are. they can't go out and find someone who looks better and say, okay, now you're a witness in a case, so you have to take the witnesses who know things and so that happens in a lot of cases, you have bad people as bad as michael is. there's been a lot worse that have taken the stand and been
8:35 am
believed because of the corroboration around them. and that's what the state has done here. they have surrounded donald trump with all kinds of circumstantial evidence and some direct evidence of his involvement. and now michael is going to put it all together and show that the head of the snake was in fact donald trump so it's the cross-examination typically right. which is so crucial. and the cross-examination of cohen might be rather brutal. i mean, we saw that with a stormy daniels in terms of the technique how the defense attorneys likely to come at him how do you think those defense attorneys are planning this weekend on how to cross-examine cohen okay. >> we got to start with the idea that the cross-examination that was done by ms nichols with stormy daniels to me was kinda sophomore iq in the basis that she kept asking questions
8:36 am
expecting to get answers like saying this is all a lie. well witnesses, i'm going to say yeah, it's all a lie. i admit it. this isn't perry mason. those things don't happen in her cross-examination could have been done by a first-year law student who's seen too much law and order. i don't think that's what you're going to see in the cross-examination of michael. they're going to go at him with what they know he has done wrong, tried to highlight the fact that he has lied that he has in fact been convicted of a crime and say, you know, we don't understand this, we don't understand that the key here is never asked a question. you don't already know the answer to or at least you know what the answer isn't. and that's the way you do a good cross-examination. you get up, you make specific points, you go it's someone on a specific matter and you sit down, you never give the witness an opportunity to keep repeating their story over and over again because the more you say it the more the truth it is to the jury.
8:37 am
