deal dash.com, right now and see how much you can save i'm arlette saenz at the white
4:01 pm
house. >> and this is cnn >> you're in the cnn newsroom. hi everyone. i'm jessica dean in washington and we have breaking news this memorial day weekend as powerful and dangerous storms are threatening millions of americans. it's as many communities in texas this arkansas, oklahoma, and kentucky have spent the weekend digging out from under debris, at least 15 people have been confirmed dead as a result of these storms as rescues continue in valley view, texas, at least seven people have died. here's texas governor greg abbott. >> the same, time, that we are going through the heart wrenching loss of life including the heartbreak of a family losing a two-year-old and a five-year-old child we
4:02 pm
have cnn's ed lavandera, valley view. >> we're going to go to him in just a moment. but first let's check in with cnn meteorologist lisa rafah, who is tracking the threats that will continue through tonight. elisa yeah it's really sad when you hear that about the losses of life and unfortunately it looks like we can't have strong, intense tornadoes. again as we go into knife will hear 7:00, you know, that that sun is about to set and that makes these tornadoes even more dangerous. here's a look at the biggest area of concern, right? right now, a tornado watch, including southwest missouri from springfield into the boot heel and then it includes carbondale, paducah going into parts of illinois and kentucky, part of this is a pd as tornado watch for that particularly dangerous situation that's saying that we're not only expecting some tornadoes, but these tornadoes so as can be strong, intense, violent at ef2 strength, or greater. this goes into 11:00 at night. again, remember as it gets dark, it's
4:03 pm
hard to see these tornadoes coming. so please make sure you have your emergency alerts on loud right now. we have a cluster of tornado warnings, including the city of st. louis, where they had to delay the st. louis it's cardinals game. we've got a couple of tornadoes a little bit farther south in the state, just north of west plains where we've got these discrete sounds that are rotating and they're capable of creating these tornadoes again, that can be very strong and intense. again, close-up of that warning there in st. louis, more than 600,000 people in that warning right now us, we still have this line of storms that's been kicking all day through parts of virginia from roanoke and about to get into north carolina, charlotte, now included in the latest severe thunderstorm watch. here's the risk you see that red bull's eye that's, that moderate risk that level four and five where we can find those intense tornadoes, golf ball-sized hail, maybe even up to baseball in some areas. and those wind gusts up to 75 miles per hour. again, the threat not just for tornadoes, but those
4:04 pm
long-lived strong and intense ones especially there in the red and the orange areas as we go into the night, then tomorrow the threat shifts to the east coast. we have that level two out of five so the threat for the intense tornadoes comes down, but we can still find damaging wind goes from dc to richmond, charlotte, even down to atlanta and montgomery. so here's a look at those storms continuing to blow up this evening. these are the incredibly dangerous and discrete cells that could produce those strong and violent tornadoes. they organized into a wine when you see the storms organized and to a line like that, that's the push of damaging winds will continue without damaging wind threat overnight, it dives south as we go into tomorrow morning, places like atlanta, waking up to some thunder. and then the storms could reignite in the afternoon. it's been an incredibly active year, more than 900 reports. so far this year, well, above average, jessica. >> all right. at least so rafah, thank you so much for all that information. let's go now to add lavender, who's on the ground in texas amongst so much devastation, ed well,
4:05 pm
jessica, it's been a devastating day. >> here. we are near the small city of valley view, which is north of the dallas fort worth area. it was just before 11:00 last night that a tornado rip through here. the national weather service now says it was an ef-2 a tornado with winds of up to 135 miles per hour. and you can see the devastation that it has left. and here in this neighborhood, we have seen people throughout the day, essentially piling together what is left of their home structures, and barnes and shared it's just pile some families are we spoke with the garcia family that lives in this home right over here and just moments before the tornado struck build their own storm shelter out of cinderblock and that's where the around and you could feel the tornado hit yes. especially with that that
4:06 pm
breathing holes that we have in there. i mean, you could just feel it, you know, we hear that there's when going really all right. well, it's probably coming it's probably coming and. then again, you just kinda feel where it just goes quiet for maybe a minute, just nothing. and then out of nowhere, you just hear the wind start wailing hard and that at that point we knew we knew that we were going to have some damage for sure, but i don't think i realized the whole magnitude of everything until you start walking out from all right. >> i think we've lost unfortunately, ed lavandera as shot there, but thank you, ed for that reporting. we certainly send our best to those families. and valley view, texas. >> we also have some breaking news tonight. >> the israeli military saying it targeted a hamas compound in rafah killing two senior hamas officials gaza officials say this was a camp for displaced people and 35, at least 35 people were killed. many of the
4:07 pm
victims women and children. cnn's paula hancocks, is following the latest for us. >> polowat more are you learning about this? get jessica. so this happened in northwest rafah. we understand it was in the the talal fulton camp. it's an area where there are many displaced people who have been moved due to the war the israeli military, in many cases number of times, we know that it is an area of tenths of makeshift shelters where people are staying and we see from images obtained by cnn and also some horrific images on social media of the bodies and those injured being pulled from burning tense, you can see firefighters, paramedics, the displaced, trying desperately to put those flames out. so what we are hearing from the palestinian side, the gaza
4:08 pm
ministry of health saying that the majority of those injured and killed were women and children also saying that there were no hospitals that had the capacity to cope and to to help that number of injured at what we're hearing from the israeli side as the israeli military saying that they did launch an air strike, they targeted a hamas compound, say that they killed two senior hamas officials including a commander of hamas's his leadership in the west bank now, the idf acknowledges that there are imports of a fire that broke out. they say they see the reports as well of the civilians that were harmed and they are reviewing the incident. but what we're seeing from the palestinian sayyed is so it's really a devastating fire that's ripping through this area. we heard from the gaza government's media office that this was an area that was designated a safe area by the
4:09 pm
israeli military. and this is an area that many people were told to head towards the head further lester, away from where the israeli military was operating to certainly this does appear like a devastating event that has happened in rafah at this 0.2 different narratives from the israeli and the palestinian sayyed. but we are hearing that at least 35 people are believed to have been killed in this displaced camp that coming from the ministry of health, we cannot independently confirm figures or information given to us by, by either side. but certainly you can see from the images that that was a devastating fire. now, we also know that hamas fired eight missiles towards israel earlier on sunday. and for the first time since the end of january, they targeted tel aviv we heard from the israeli military that there
4:10 pm
were no reports of casualties that hamas is operating in a rafah the hostages are in a rafah and that this this is why they need to carry out these, these strikes here saying that they also did strike the area and the rocket launcher that launched those rockets earlier on sunday and that hamas was launching them from nearby two mosques so what we're hearing at this point as well from the the palestinian sayyed is that they are fearful that the death toll will rise, that there are a number of different areas in rapper in, in the southern gaza area that they were taking the dead and the injured too. so they are concerned that that death toll of more than 35 could rise in the coming hours. jessica paula hancocks with the latest thank you for that reporting. >> still ahead. former president trump back in the courtroom tuesday after a long holiday weekend. what do you expect is the hush money trial

4:16 pm
north carolina where he is with a group of goldstar families this a warm embrace compared to the jeers and boos he received last night at the libertarian national convention very party should nominate trump for president of the united states only do that if you want to win. if you want to lose, don't do that keep getting your 3% every four years joining me now republican strategist, more gillespie and democratic strategist, meghan hayes, great to have you both on also, we look very memorial day, red, white, and blue. >> i'm noticing they're more and let's start with you. we are looking ahead to these closing arguments. we are ultimately going to get some sort of outcome here. >> i'm curious what kind of impact you think a conviction could have on this race so unfortunately, i don't think it will have much of an impact, quite frankly i'm not a legal
4:17 pm
scholar, but it sounds as though he can still run. he may not be able to vote for himself, but he is allowed to still run. and so i think it does well, make it more important about who he picks his vice president, that certainly going to be a factor i think looking ahead. so i think trump loyalists are going to stay loyal no matter what really happens. they believe that this is a sham of a trial to begin with. so conviction is not going to change their minds in that regard. >> meghan, if trump is acquitted or they get a hung jury, is that a win for trump? and is the biden campaign factoring any of this in? are they counting on a conviction here? >> i think that what this trial has done is really shone. the contrast between the president and former president trump. but i don't think whether he is acquitted or it's a hung jury or he's convinced it did really it's going to do anything, it's going to be a talking point for both sides. he's going to call it a sham trial. he's going to say it's a democratic attack against them. all the things, regardless of what the outcome is. so i just think that we would have done is really just show the kind of person he is
4:18 pm
and the kind of character he has, which is a great for president biden because those are the exact opposite things that he provides us the president. so i think in that way it's been helpful, but whether or not the outcome i don't think it really sounds like i mean, you make a good point, which is if you're for trump, you're probably still for trump. if you're against trump, you're still against trump. it's really that teeny slice in the middle that might actually determine the outcome of the election that might actually care about this. >> yeah, i think like the suburban moms that are outside of philadelphia and outside of pittsburgh forget those are the types of people who are going to make up the difference in this election. and those are gonna be the deciding factors. and some of the things that came out during the trial. i think will impact them. i don't think they want to vote for someone who's cheating on their spouse and cheating with porn star and lying and cheating and then feeling type of person to be their president. but you just never know people have short memories. so hopefully, the contrast six through and his character came through, but the outcome again, i don't think there's more i want to go back to that clip that we played right before you guys came on with us. it was the former president addressing the libertarian party convention last night. >> why he knew what he was
4:19 pm
walking into. he knew that he would probably not be well-received. >> how real of a threat? >> at ease rfk jr. to the trump campaign and why do you think the former president went there last night i think it's interesting to me because as you're talking about the small sliver of voters who are actually going to make or break the 2024 election. >> he has yet to really reach out to them. yet you saw him reaching out to others? black voters in the bronx and he used reaching out to libertarians because he does now finally see that rfk junior has been pulling votes from his potential gets as opposed to potentially biden gets. so it's interesting that he is spending his time there as opposed to really try to address women voters, especially, but also that small fraction of those who are going to make or break the election. so it is interesting but not surprising. it's his reaction to it being booed to me was a little glimmer inside of here's how john trump views himself. that he is the only
4:20 pm
choice going into 2024. he said no don't vote for me if you don't want to win again. but it's interesting that he is playing on that, that he is the only candidate to win. andrew president come november megan, i'm curious, held the biden campaign is viewed as viewing rfk jr. because this is a kind of a weird one where he is pulling from both campaigns, but its geographic, it's in different states and different ways but neither of these campaigns are thrilled. >> he's in the race. no, i think he's just trying attention away. he's a non-serious candidate. he's just taking have airtime from them. it's it's just it's not he doesn't have the ballot access. the names do on some of these battleground states, but he's also not a serious candidate. and i think that the biden campaign is realizing that and recognizing that, and hopefully that his voter, the voters that will either vote for him by the time it comes to the election, it won't matter or they'll stay home it's just not going to make a big difference. he is not a serious person here. so more or you mentioned some of these female voters that you think that the trump campaign should be really
4:21 pm
trying to appeal to we are seeing the biden campaign with this outreach to nikki haley voters. now that nikki haley has said she's going to support the former president donald trump. and it was interesting because some of our reporting from that was when they when they had this conversation that some of those voters were telling the biden campaign, look, we get democracy is on the ballot. we understand we want to talk about other issues that are important to us. what do you think is the right message? how does the biden campaign convinced those voters? >> leading with women's reproductive rights? i just women's rights in general to have the autonomy over what happens to their body is, is an important first message, but also talk about things that impact them and their families despite the fact that many people think that we're in a recession even though we're not, it doesn't make us feel better that living cost of living he has really, really high right now and so talking to them about what is actually to expect in the future or coming in the very near future. i think it hasn't been articulated well and people's
4:22 pm
trust in either three of the top three candidates that are running for office really isn't an all time high. people are unmotivated to really even choose any of those three because i think competency has any question about across the three of them and so speaking to women and trying to convince them to vote for you, really that's what the candidates need to be doing because we also have this other option is a right end. and many people may choose that route. they also may choose not to show up and so i don't know that i'm motivated electorate bodes well for us as a nation but that may be what happens in november. so trying to reach them where they are is going to be the best strategy. >> and meghan, i'll give you the last question before we run out of time, just following up on that, is it seems that one of the biggest threats to the biden campaign is people just stayed at home or writing somebody else in. >> yeah. i think that they need to be attracting these other voters, like martha, meaning folks where they are and going to these women. i talked about earlier and outside of philadelphia and meeting them with like reproductive rights is on the ballot this time. and i understand what democracy,
4:23 pm
but the economy, all these other, the care economy, these different thing that president trump has notoriously not been there for them. and that president biden isn't showing them what he's done and then also what he is going to do. i think looking forward is a really big thing. that they are going to need to do. but also meeting them where they are to do that as important all right. >> more on gillespie, meghan hayes, thanks to both of you and still ahead, we continue to follow breaking news and the israeli military has now said it killed two senior hamas officials in a strike in rafah earlier today gaza officials saying that strike mostly killed women and children. we're going to talk with democratic congressman jake aacn, cost of massachusetts about how this could potentially play any role in the peace talks set to resume this week. plus passengers describing the terrifying seconds when another plane was rocked by severe turbulence mid-flight, one person telling one camera more accrue it was the worst 15 seconds of their life describing food everywhere and bloodied faces. >> you'll hear more when we come back. you're in the cnn newsroom riyadh saves new album

4:30 pm
these rivers of air, we call jet streams. it creates what's called wind shear, which means sudden changes in the direction of wind at any given altitude. >> now this, of course comes just days after a singapore airlines flight to london hit severe turbulence that injured more than 100 people and killed one man with a heart condition turning now to a developing story for girls, stout in a movie theater near boston. and then just an hour later to adults stabbed and mcdonald's police say they have a suspect in custody. cnn correspondent polo sandoval has more hey, jessica, good evening. police in massachusetts releasing limited information at this point, but at least enough to help us paint a timeline about the events from yesterday. i'll made a disturbing timeline starts at 6:00 p.m. yesterday when police say that a man walked into a movie theater and brain tree, massachusetts he sits, which is about 13 miles south of boston. this man,
4:31 pm
without a ticket made his way into that movie theater and then police say stabbed for young females theory, just ranging from nine to 17 years old, all of their injuries, fortunately, non-life-threatening at that point though. at this point, investigators believed that this was a non provoked attack. the way police described it, that this man without saying anything and without any warning, he suddenly attacked and stab those females police believed that that same man then made his way south to plymouth, massachusetts to a mcdonald's fast-food restaurant where he allegedly stabbed to people, a man and a woman in their 20s that those two people also suffered non-life-threatening injuries and it wasn't until a certain time later that police then caught up with the suspect, engaged them in a pursuit that then ended with a with a crash investigators were able to detain that man still though, no exact ward on a motive unknown information on that suspect. we should mention now over the police in deep river, connecticut investigating a
4:32 pm
homicide and body that they located while responding to a call of a disturbance, they will only say that that suspect in that case was apprehended in massachusetts, but they stop short of directly linking it to those two unprovoked stabbing. so still a lot of information to be sought out in this investigation, but very disturbing case with these unprovoked stabbings and a fast-food restaurant and a movie theater. two places that we all know very well. >> all right. polo sandoval. thanks so much for that reporting straight ahead and update on the breaking news tornado warnings being issued tonight. a severe weather makes its way across the midwest, will have the latest for you when we come i'm back the russians were trying to spy on us we were spying on them i was hadi friday this is a war, but secret was secrets and spies, a nuclear game. >> and premier's next sunday at ten on cnn, the all new temper p-adic adapt actress was

4:39 pm
commanders within civilian infrastructure. it's creating a terrible set of conundrums for the israeli defense forces which are trying to operate to the highest standards, but still take on their military imperative of defeating hamas that we can have a permanent ceasefire in gaza. and so far as hamas controls the levers of power in gaza, there will be no permanent ceasefire. they've broken half a dozen in the last 15 years and they'll break more and so what do you think or what do you what kind of expectations let's say, do you have for these talks that will resume on tuesday there's low trust, of course israel really can only trust one country in this world and that's the united states. >> and it has to negotiate with countries like egypt and saudi arabia and qatar, which in the best of times have been double faced with israel and the worst of times have been trying to
4:40 pm
destroy israel but we need these negotiations to resume because they are the best chance that we have to get these hostages just home. i met last week with the parents of hersh goldberg-polin. he is a young man who was at the music festival, had his arm blown off as sin has since spent more than six months in a terror tunnel somewhere in gaza needing medical attention and his best chance to be reunited with his parents to be reunited with his sisters is for these negotiations to proceed and for egypt and qatar to put more pressure on hamas to finally do what's right, not just for the hostages, but for the palestinian people and the international court of justice issued an order on friday calling on israel to stop its military operation in the southern gaza city of rafah. >> but it doesn't sound like realistically you see that happening israel needs to control the rafah crossing with
4:41 pm
egypt. >> otherwise, hamas is going to ria quip. it's going to rearm and it's going to resume this war hamas, insofar as it is, x extent insofar as it has the materiel and the manpower and the levers of power in gaza to fight will fight and it will pursue its own charter to destroy the state of israel and killed jews worldwide. so israel needs to cut off that supply line to egypt and it has since de-scoped much of its operations after pressure from president biden and it just demonstrates that the back-and-forth between the war cabinet and the administration, while frustrating at times, does produce better strategy. now not the strategy that we need to be clear and in fact, netanyahu's own war cabinet has really turned on him and said, we need a plan that integrates governance in gaza with these military operations that aligns gallons and gallons with biden in saying that while military operations are one important element of defeating
4:42 pm
hamas, you can't fight something with nothing. we need a plan for governance as well and also the house speaker mike johnson has invited prime minister benjamin netanyahu to speak to a joint session of congress. >> do you support that move? >> well, i think the most important conversation that netanyahu can have right now is not with congress. it's with his own work, war cabinet. there are three voting members of the war cabinet, one of whom is netanyahu, the other two don't agree with them right now. so you should really be focused on those conversations and making sure he is aligned with them and with the president, the united states get i've attended every address by ahead of government to congress since i've been in office, i intend to attend those as the default, but that's an august. it's may right now, a month is a year right now in middle east terms, i'm not even really thinking about that. i'm thinking about his own conversations with the war cabinet i'm thinking about these hostage negotiations next week. >> and before i let you go, i
4:43 pm
do want to talk about tomorrow memorial day. you served in afghanistan as of marine commander. and i just want to ask you if there's anything you do on memorial day to mark it and what it signifies to you? >> tomorrow. i'm going to be thinking about the moms and dads in particular, in service and those who lost their lives, that picture of me, i was a kid and felt invincible and didn't have children of my own and now that i have three little ones, four, three, and one, the idea of leaving now i'm going into harm's way it frankly is that a different level? and so i'm thinking about those parents who gave the utmost of themselves and frankly of their families for this country and that we'd be the kind of country that deserves it. >> yeah, it is for so many people, of course, the mark of summer or the beginning of summer, and it is a fun good day, but it is also such as somber day in the sense that we do honor and give our thanks to those who gave the ultimate sacrifice.

4:50 pm
tonight because we're not only expecting tornadoes, but some of these tornadoes could be strong, can be violent, could be intense, could be long-lived ef2 strength or greater. so we're very much worried about that. we've also been watching some storms out of the saint louis area pretty closely. we've got a cluster of some tornado warnings in a more rural area of southeast missouri sorry, but we actually had a tornado confirmed by radar roll through part of st. louis. and you can see it's now just south and east of the city. the cardinals game had to be delayed because of this line of storms that move through as we went through the last couple of hours or so. and you can see just how tense it was as if it came through the st. louis metro, which some of the damaging winds and the possibility there of some tornadoes. we also have a stretch of severe thunderstorm warnings that continuously goes for about 200 miles from pittsburgh to roanoke. as this line of storms, you see when an organizes and it bends, that's when it could push 60 to 70 mile per hour winds there as well. here's a look at this
4:51 pm
severe weather risk is we go through the rest of the night. you see that moderate level four out of five risk there in the red, orange as well. that's where we're worried about this strong and intense tornadoes, hail up to the size of baseballs in some cases. and the because winds up to 70 to 75 miles per hour by tomorrow for your memorial day, it shifts to the east coast. you see that slight risk that level two out of five there in the yellow includes washington, dc, richmond, virginia, charlotte, down to atlanta and men garden murray, where we could find a line of damaging wind as well. >> so the storms continue to blow up as to go into the evening hours here, very strong, intense tornadoes, you can see that possible as we have these storms blow into the boot heel on missouri, then they can organize into a wine again, when you see storms organized into a line like that, that's where you get to push a damaging winds 60 to 70 miles per hour are possible. >> the line continues to move into to the south. so again, if you've got plans for moreno de that include being outside, be
4:52 pm
careful for damaging winds and lightning, jack? >> yeah. no doubt about it. and at least i know you had mentioned earlier in the show too, this has been just an incredibly active year for tornadoes beyond what's average yeah. i mean, incredibly so we have had more than 960 tornado reports since january 1st, an average today would have been about 700, so april was incredibly active, may has been incredibly active. this the outlook scale that we have, we haven't had a day that hasn't had a severe weather risk since sometime. i want to say it was in late april. it's been a really long stretch of intense, severe weather. jessica. >> all right. well, we hope everyone stays safe. this is it's just a lot of people facing those threats, so thanks so much for walking us through all of them. are less rafah. we appreciate it. >> this memorial day hey, americans will visit cemeteries across the nation to pay tribute to veterans and honor their service. but there are many veterans who've long been
