12:02 pm
were following all these major developing stories and many more all coming in right here to see you in a new central get ready because next month you're going to see history right here on cnn. >> president biden and former president trump have accepted cnn's invitation to debate on june 27th making it the earliest general election debate in modern history. >> that's right. and then both candidates also accepted a second invitation from abc news to debate in september. this comes after biden challenge trump earlier in the de, to two debates in both june and september, cnn's mj lee and cnn's kristen holmes join us now. first i wanna go to mj at the white now so mj, what more do we know about this? first face off, a 2020 rematch that cnn is gonna be hosting next month well, it's amazing, honestly how quickly all of this came together and just a matter of hours, joe biden and donald trump agreeing to two presidential debates.
12:03 pm
>> the first one will be hosted by cnn, as you said, on june 27, both campaigns agreeing basically to shun the presidential debate calendar that was set forth by the commission on presidential debates, basically arguing that the idea that the first debate wouldn't take place until september is just too late that both campaigns are set on trying to reach voters much earlier than that. and in fact, we are told that there were for some informal back channel conversations between the two campaigns described to us as having been largely about the mutual disdain for the cpd. now that what is unusual about the cnn debate is that the atlanta studio where this will take place is not going to have a live audience. that of course is unusual if you look back on previous years what the biden campaign had said is that they saw the past debates has having become spectacles that they didn't think that having a live audience was actually conducive to a lively and helpful debate and one person we are that we are learning being who is going to be
12:04 pm
joining the biden campaign's debate sessions is wrong, claimed that of course, is the president's former chief of staff. one is closest and most trusted advisors. he tells me that he is going to be taking some vacation time to help the president with his debate prep. i don't know how relaxing vacation that's going to be. the other question, of course, that we don't know yet is who is going to be standing in for donald? trump at these debate prep sessions. remember, last time around in 2020, that role was played by bob bauer, the president's personal lawyer, but i'm told that it's just too early to be talking about those debate prep details. but i think what is clear in the big picture is that the biden campaign did want to use this issue to try to go on the offensive. we saw they want it to be first to put these to debate ideas out there and have the trump campaign accept that idea. and we also saw up president, the president saying earlier, i hear you're free on wednesdays and one of these social media videos that clearly is a reference to the
12:05 pm
fact that donald trump has been stuck in a courtroom for a number of weeks now in new york city? >> yeah, he really tried to stick it to them on that one, mj. thank you so much. life force at the white house. kristen holmes, i wonder what you think of. there's long been this question and trump is sort of played it up about whether biden was going to debate him, but it all happened pretty fast and furious today. biden comes out sort of jabbing trump and then there's the acceptance trump comes jabs at. now, then he accepts a fox invitation, but now by another debate, yeah, what's going on with this? so biden will not do a fox debate, right? >> so we're told that biden is not going to it. i'll read that statement from the campaign in just a second. but just to give an overall view here, talking to trump's senior advisers and those in his orbit, they're a little bit irked right now, the fact that joe biden somehow took over the debate narrative, despite the fact that donald trump has been really using this as a narrative at all of his campaign rallies. he's been up on stage with an empty podium next to him know when they're saying, come debate me and he's often said, i will debate anywhere anytime this has been
12:06 pm
kind of a rallying cry for donald trump and for some of his top advisers. now what we saw today was joe biden really taking control of the narrative and now donald trump trying to take it back. so after we saw this announcement from biden after donald trump had accepted these two debates, he then got on truth, social's to say he was going to accept a third debate at fox on october 2. so this is true social here. well, the biden campaign is saying, well, you already agreed to our terms. that's not happening. they wrote the actual statement was president biden made his terms clear for two one-on-one debates. and donald trump accepted those terms no more games, no more chaos, no more debate about debates. we'll see donald trump on june 27 in atlanta if he shows up. this is also a big thing between both campaigns now is that continue to go to each other. oh, you're not going to show up. you're not going to show up. >> all right. >> sounds to me like they're both going to show up. thank schoolyard stone. >> it is clear and stuff, but, remember that the biden campaign me clear. they're trying to get under trump skin your it sounds like it's
12:07 pm
working. all right. kristen holmes, thanks very much. >> i want to talk more about this with former white house chief of staff in the clinic administration, leon panetta. he also served as defense secretary and cia director under president obama gif director secretary panetta, you've where a lot of hats, but i do want to talk to you today with your political hat on. what was your reaction to this announcement to the to the biden video saying that he's ready for two debates. we now in very quick succession have plans for a cnn debate and an abc debate. it's, it's really not every day that we see also candidates sidelining the commission on presidential debates. so what do you make of all this? >> well, i think it's great it's great for the american people and frankly, i think it's great for the candidates to be able to do a debate, though without an audience present focusing hopefully on substance of the issues that are impacting on america. look, the reality is both campaigns
12:08 pm
to this point, have not been, have not been very effective. i think trump, of course, has been stuck in court biden has been trying to get a message out on the campaign trail, but hasn't been doing too well. i think this is really important. to be able to give the american people a firsthand view of these two candidates. and the tremendous differences that exist between them. >> i mean, obviously president biden wants to talk about the issues in these debates. but as brianna was just saying, you know, it's kinda, be phrased it and it didn't schoolyard taunts. he said well, make my day kinda like clint eastwood reference and you talked about the fact that i made a reference to trump's legal troubles so what do you make of that strategy? >> well, look, i think i would love it to be a debate on substance and issues because there's a lot of problems facing our country and our world that really need to be
12:09 pm
fully debated but as always in these debates and we remember from the last one trump, tends to be a boolean person in debates, and he, he interrupts, he interferes. he's going to try to create chaos, which is strength, very frankly and biden is going to have to be able to develop the right kind of talking points that hit back on what trump is trying to do. so they are going to have to prepare for it. no question and they're going to have to be ready to be able to react because this is going to be a debate in which the unknown could really hurt one candidate or the other and you heard mj lee just say there that he's bringing in his former chief of staff to help him get ready if you were ron klain, how would you be counseling president joe
12:10 pm
biden to go after trump? >> well, i think ron klain is a tremendous choice to be able to do that. he knows biden, he knows politics. he'll be he'll be great at helping the president. i think i think the most important thing is that president biden has to be who he is. he can't be somebody else you make a bad mistake when you try to convert somebody into playing another role that he's not accustomed to. and joe biden is joe biden, you're going to have to let him be who he is. but you're also going to have to be able to prepare him so that he is ready to deal with a lot of the kind of spontaneous reactions that trump is going to present. a trump. trump does an officer operate? in an order and he doesn't operate in substance?
12:11 pm
he operates by bullying. and that's what he's gonna do and the challenge is going to be, how do you, how do you handle that? and how do you turn it back on trump? that's going to be the challenge that joe biden is going to have to face while trump is certainly much more of a known quantity this time around he was when biden faced him last time and when he really appeared on the national political stage as a presidential candidate back in 2016, leon panetta, thank you very much. appreciate it good to be with you. we are now less than an hour away from the closing bell on wall street and stocks are rallying back near record highs. now, look how close the dow is to 40,000. that's a milestone that it has never crossed. >> investors are responding to today's key report on consumer prices, which shows inflation, cooling slightly and the 12 months ending in april after several months let's of inflation coming in hotter than expected. let's get to cnn's matt egan to dig into this new government data on the economy. first, matt, let's talk about the markets, how they're responding well, briana alex, i think investors are relieved
12:12 pm
relieved that in that inflation is finally moving in the right direction again, of course that direction being lower. so we do see the dow is just about 150 points away from that 40,000 milestone on track to close at record highs also, record close as possible for the s&p 500 and as dak now, today's inflation report showed that consumer prices were up by 0.3% between march and april, that it's cooler than expected, cooler than the month before annually consumed versus up by 3.4%. now that's not great. that's above pre-covid trends. but this is an improvement from the month before, and it is miles away from that 9% inflation reading from two years ago. and when you dig into this report, you do see some positive trends here. consumers are catching a break on food prices. finally, we saw month over month price drops for groceries, new cars use cars and airfare. also, core inflation, which excludes food and energy for g prices that is now increasing at the
12:13 pm
smallest rate in three years. so that is a positive trend. now, i think when you take a step back, it's clear that inflation has not been solved, right? the cost of living remains a major problem for millions of americans. and frankly, a political liability for this white house. but these do numbers, these do, these numbers due point to some progress i think the point though is that we're going to need to see further progress in the months ahead before americans really start to feel better about things. >> so amount what do you think this report means for what the fed's gonna do when it comes to interest rates well, alex, i do think this keeps a live the hope that the fed is going to be able to start lowering interest rates later this year. remember, entering 2024, there were hopes for up to six rate cuts this year now it's not even a short thing. there'll be one now in the last 24 hours, we have seen investors mark up their bets for interest rate cuts not in june probably not in july, but look at that in this chart shows that there's now a 74% chance priced into the market for an interest rate
12:14 pm
cut at the meeting in september, which by the way, is the last meeting before this election. of course, interest rate cuts would be great for consumers, right? would mean lower mortgage great, it's credit card late grades car loans. but the problem is the fed, they need to see real proof of progress, not just one month of improvement, but a series of months we're inflation is ticking lower. >> they don't want to cut interest rates too soon because that could make inflation worse. so we need to see whether or not this is the start of a new trend. we're inflation in, does move decisively lower. >> all right, we're looking for that, matt, thank you for that report. >> thanks. still ahead. the us is preparing a major weapon sale for israel as the country's military steps up, its attacks in northern gaza and also parts of rafah in the south coming up, we'll speak to an icu doctor in gaza about what he's witnessed. >> plus trump's defense in the hush money trial gears up for another round of cross-examination of michael

12:20 pm
frontlines today, russian troops launched another round of ground and air attacks. >> the fight things so intense ukrainian president zelenskyy has been forced to cancel all of his upcoming foreign trips cnn chief international security correspondent nick paton walsh is live from kharkiv for us. nic, russia's bombardment of the region, not letting up. tell us about the situation question on the ground yeah. >> look, it's important to put in context exactly what we've been sitting here in the past five days. it's not a small incremental shift on an established front line by russia, they began essentially a whole new invasion of ukraine from the northern areas here in the second city, kharkiv. and they're seeing significant success. it's fair to say they claim they've gotten any double-digit villages in that recent purse. but really it's a key border town of vovchansk, which we heard from ukrainian military official their troops have had to take different positions in that town. that's really a euphemism for a tactical withdrawal. and we heard from a police chief
12:21 pm
saying that they had fighting in the streets of that border town itself. one woman evacuated, spoke to me today. she said that she basically been in a basement for about four days and seeing russian troops in the street next to her as a whole out on fire. she described. >> this is important because it marks russia. firstly, trying to push down towards kharkiv here, a city which since 2022, when russian forces rapidly withdrew from areas around it felt perhaps life might be getting back to normal, but now, in the last hour or so and a miss, our landing near the city centers at airstrikes repeatedly hit it and faces the prospect if russian troops continue to push forward that their artillery being arranged, this population center, again, a horrifying development of people who thought really the war was not over for them, but certainly not continually waking them during the night secondly, what we're really seeing two here is russia stretching already heavily fatigued ukrainian forces? furthermore, thin. now, we heard from ukraine's president volodymyr zelenskyy that he was canceling his travel abroad to see allies to get more aid
12:22 pm
fast. he also reassured people they would definitely not allow the pressure being put on the northeast and the fact that having to send reinforcements to reinforce their front lines to allow other areas where russia seeing progress and success to suffer yet more. but there are reports from the eastern the south that gains russia has been making, the making yet two more. and i have to say it looks to me, briana, like this is probably the worst moment for ukraine since the war began, the early days of the invasion, the weapons aren't here yet from the us. it may take a month, four so russia is coming at them with the manpower, the weaponry really pushing forward in ways that were frankly unimaginable six months ago, briana, another capitalizing on this moment of weakness here for sure. and nick, secretary of state antony blinken, just wrapped up a visit to kyiv earlier today. tell us a little bit about that. >> yeah. it's interesting signaling we see from ukraine's allies because being no doubt the damage that was done to the military posture is the reason why russia is
12:23 pm
advancing. and that's because the $61 of usa was held up by a republican congressional dysfunctionality meet. no doubt about it. it created morale back in december. we first knew there was going to be a delay and it's really causing ammunition to not be there. so blinken has gone to kyiv, given very clean signals, were standing with you a time saying ukraine needs to improve on governance. we had a strange display yesterday in kyiv bar where he played guitar during a neil young song, but also today announcing $2 billion worth of assistance. some of that to buy weapons immediately, some of it for weapons from the us and some of it to invest in future mechanisms. so ukraine can develop its own technology two and resilience so certain effort for a long-term gain here. but this positive messaging, if we're william will stay by you. i think really belies how utterly awful it is to be in a city like this kharkiv and see a renewed russian invasion, them seeing a gap here, moscow, seeing a weakness and seizing on its brianna all right. >> nick paton walsh. thank you
12:24 pm
for that report from kharkiv. we do appreciate it. >> turning now to israel's war against hamas sources telling cnn that the white house is moving forward with a potential plan to send 1 billion of weapons to israel. this is still in the early stages, but the deal could include tank ammunition, mortar rounds, among other weapons. of course, just last week week we learned that the biden administration had paused a separate shipment of large bombs to israel over concerns they could be used in the densely populated city of rafah for more on the rapidly evolving situation on the ground. we're joined now by american dr. samir khan, who's a cardiac anesthesiologist and critical care medicine physician currently at a hospital in gaza dr. kahn. thank you so much for joining us. of course, it's late at night where you are your nir rafah, what has been the situation in and around that hospital where you are as israel steps up its military operation in rafah the situation has been pretty, has been very dire thank you for having us, by the way we have seen patients come in with
12:25 pm
acute trauma injuries, blast wounds, gunshot wounds, crush injuries and in addition to that, we see acute community conditions like colas status, appendicitis that people have been very scared afraid of what's going on and they've looked to us on numerous occasions to see what what we'll be doing so if we're gonna be staying longer, if we're gonna be going and we've been running short on medical supplies and it's just extreme poverty. the system is essentially crippled tell me more about the supply levels what are you lacking? what kind of injuries are you seeing that you're treating so we see again blast wounds, gunshot wounds. >> we had a patient today that
12:26 pm
we were transporting from the icu to the operating room and to give you an idea as to what the supplies are like, we routes transporting from the ice to the or it's anything can happen. it's dangerous just to make that transport going into the elevator. the elevator gets stuck. >> we run out of oxygen and the oxygen tank. the patients no longer there pumps are stopped working in the elevator. we have to do a make shift bag of epinephrine vasopressin and estimate the amount that they require. as we rush to the operating room. the supplies are very, very limited and we see patients who should survive, but for example, this very same patient had an acute kidney failure and we were unable to put them on dialysis or crt in order to rescue them
12:27 pm
dr. there's been so much concern about israel's intentions in rafah, the possibility that they could step up their operation. >> we've seen warnings from the israelis to palestinians and rafah so to leave parts of eastern rafah, what are people they're telling you about their concerns and what their plans are so when we first arrived at the hospital, we noticed that there were patient tents that were crowding all the hallways since then in the last week or so, all these tents are gone and i'd say about 50% of the people that have been around the hospital has has left that this region again, those who are staying, we work with some wonderful professionals. >> they have somehow managed to maintain order and etiquette and this war torn environment. and they've miraculously managed to keep their
12:28 pm
malnourished and maimed bodies clean and presentable but they're professionals just like us and they they care about how they look, they care about their education, their learning, and they are reasonably we afraid and concerned about the situation and they are reasonably looking to us to see whether we will be able to assist them further, whether we can continue to provide medical and humanitarian support but remarkably, they've made they've been able to maintain a level of order around the hospital and doctor, what about your status? >> i understand that you're part of an international team. you guys have been trying to get out. what's preventing you from leaving? >> my understanding, and this is probably a better question for the team leader, is that there has been an issue at the
12:29 pm
rafah crossing and were essentially at the mercy of the military units in control of the rafah crossing. but more importantly, it's that that crossing is essential for aid to get in and supplies to enter an order for us to provide the medical and humanitarian support that we need the details of that i'm not really too familiar with and we, know that israel has taken over that. sayyed of the palestinian side of the rafah crossing. and so of course, anything to come in or out would have to be agreed upon by the israelis and by the egyptians. dr. samir khan. thank you so much for joining us. we know it's late there and these are some very difficult circumstances. so we really appreciate it thank you and still ahead, donald trump's former fixer, blasted by the defense in a tense cross-examination, and trump's lawyers are now gearing up for round two falls are the number

12:35 pm
that was allegedly played to silence adult film actress stormy daniels during the 26th team campaign about her allegations of an extramarital affair with donald trump. trump, we should note, denies any sexual encounter seasons carriers canal has been covering every twist and turn of this trial. so cara, how are the two sides preparing for tomorrow? >> so as trump's lawyers said, they expect to take most, of not all of the dates more on cross-examination, and i expect a lot of their focus will be to try to undercut michael cohen's credibility and paint him as a liar by looking at some previous statements that he has made under oath and yesterday we got a sense they had about two hours of cross-examination and the theme is that trump's lawyers were really pushing on. they were suggesting that michael cohen was obsessed with donald trump, that he was left behind when trump went went to the white house and has since been on a revenge tour. and what his lawyers did is they used a lot of the words that michael cohen has used to insult donald trump
12:36 pm
using that again cohen throwing it back at him. i mean, some of those insults that they read in court included when cohen called trump a cheeto-dusted cartoon villain, and also said that people will not be satisfied until this man is sitting inside the cell. and when cohen was confronted one after another with these statements, he said repeatedly, sounds like something i had said another theme that the defense was getting out as they were trying to show that cohen was self-motivated, that he was willing to cooperate with prosecutors because he wanted to get something out of it. he wanted to shorten his prison sentence and shorten his supervised release. he was not successful in either of those endeavors, and they also are trying to show that he was financially motivated because cohen testified that he made $3.4 million from sales of two of his books that are focused on trump expect. we'll see a lot of that theme continue and they say they will take the full de the prosecutors will get a chance for redirect, but cohen is the prosecution's last witness. so the question will be, what kind of defense did donald trump put on? and does he himself take the stand? his
12:37 pm
lawyer? yes. saturday's saying that has not yet been determined, guys we know you'll be right back outside that court tomorrow. >> kara scannell in new york. thanks very much. >> still ahead. turmoil at the miss usa organization. why did these winners give up their crowns? the now former miss colorado usa will be joining us next series, head into a pivotal game, five and ten the table temblors, celtics, mavericks, thunder coverage begins tonight at 6:30. nba playoffs presented by google pixel would conference semifinals covers presented always toppled. do you enter doug lima, someone needs to customize and save hundreds and car insurance with liberty mutual. let's fly i thought you were right behind me. only
