great day

i'm as following all of it from jerusalem. >> jeremy, tell us more about the reaction to this strike wellbore is sadly this incident in which dozens of palestinian civilians were killed in an israeli airstrike is not an outlier in gaza in the nearly eight months of war that we have seen. >> but what is an outlier is the way in which the israeli government and the israeli military are responding to this. the israeli military's top lawyer today launching a full-scale investigation into this incident with the israeli military, even saying that they did not expect that there would be any civilian casualties as they conducted a pre strike assessment, the israeli prime minister himself on the floor of the israeli parliament

saying this i launched alone she alone if garbage can move of him, despite our best effort, not to harm those, not involved unfortunately, a tragic mistake happened last night we are investigating the case hello and again, boris, we have just never seen the israeli government respond in this way. >> so swiftly and it is a sign, of course, of what is happening outside of israel. and that is to say, if the international condemnation that we have seen increasing of israel's conduct in the war in gaza. the condemnation in from the united states, israel's growing isolation on the world stage. think of the fact that just days ago, the international court of justice ordered israel to halt this military offensive in rafah and indeed this strike, even if the israeli military is saying that it was a tragic mistake. this is the kind of strike that. underscores so why the united states and so many other countries have been urging

israel not to go all out in rough because there are so many people packed into such a dense areas like this camp for displaced palestinians in the western part of rafah but and the images from this strike were just absolutely tragic as you could see, people not only hurt by the immediate blast, but by the fire that engulfed these makeshift shelters that people have been living in for months now, people emerging from the fire with bodies burns corpse is blackens being pulled out of the rubble. there was even an image of of a baby with no heads circulating online from this very incident. so absolutely tragic scenes and one, that the israeli military is now vowing to investigate borse, a jeremy diamond, life-force in jerusalem. >> thank you so much. >> we don't want to get the us reaction to the attack on the rafah camp. >> cnn's kayla tausche is lot for us at the white house taylor, how does the biden administration view this incident?

>> boris, the biden administration has called some of the images in the wake of that attack, heartbreaking saying that israel has a right to defend itself against hamas. but laying out the us position once again, saying, as we've been clear, israel must take every precaution possible to protect civilians. we are actively engaging the idf and partners on the ground to assess what happened and understand the idf is conducting an investigation just last month, boris the idf conducted a different investigation into a different attack that killed civilians that time, killing seven world central kitchen workers that were part of a convoy that was struck overnight, which the idf in its preliminary investigation, cold a grave mistake caused by thermal imaging that made some of the markings on those vans unidentifiable at night, but it was after that attack that the administration became incredibly frustrated. president biden in a phone call with prime minister netanyahu said that the us could begin conditioning aid to israel if it feels that they are in disarray agreement over the way

that israel is prosecuting the war. and president biden laying out a carefully calibrated position on a potential military operation in rafah cnn's erin burnett and saying that the administration could do more to restrict aid depending on how israel proceeded. here's what he said, just a few weeks ago if they go into rafah, i'm not supplying the weapons that have been used historically to deal with rafah. to deal with the cities that deal with that problem. we're going to continue to make sure secure in terms of iron dome and their ability to respond to attacks like came out of you the middle east recently but it's assists wrong. we're not going to we're not going to supply the weapons. and artillery shells use that have been used shells as well. >> yeah. >> i totally shelf now the administration had withheld the provision of some heavy bombs to israel for fear that those could cause mass casualties in rafah, where so far up until

this point, officials have suggested that the operation that israel has in rafah is limited and targeted. it is unclear exactly where the us will come down on the attack that we've seen in the last date, whether that would cause a change in position and a change in the provision of aid to israel going forward for us kayla tausche live force from the white house. >> thanks so much. >> let's get more on all of this with unicef spokesman james elder, cnn national security analysts, beth center, and cnn political and national security analyst david sanger, we should know david is the author of new cold doors, china's rise, russia's invasion, and america struggle to defend the west. thank you all for sharing part of your memorial day with us, james first you, you were on the situation room not long ago and you had been in rafah with unicef you visited tent camps like these put into context what this attack means, how much it compounds the suffering of palestinian civilians that are there it is catastrophe

upon catastrophe, you have to understand the people in rafah. >> rafah, which was a city of 300,000 people and then 1.4 million twice the population density of new york city. but with none of the high-rises so hundreds of thousands of people who fled because their own homes, the homes that they had saved and bought, had been bombed or destroyed. in doing so, the head loss family members. so these people who are living in intense four, 456 months, you've got children who've lost fat, who've had mothers killed, you've got husbands whose wives have been killed. you've got children. i've sat with children, these tents, borrowers who have pad amputation, who need to be in hospitals both for their psychological trauma that they've endured, but also the physical, but hospitals can't cope with them. so we are in uncharted territory in terms of the trauma. and then you've got people side-by-side on top of each other a teenage girl, a pregnant mom, and elderly woman, they will queue all day.

they will ten hours to use a shower sanitation at woeful levels. but this is where they'd been forced to go. but we know no nowhere is safe. we've been saying that for five months legally safe. you mustn't bomb it, but legally saved must also mean has to have food, water protection. so those things out there, david, so children look in their mother's eyes and they know their parents can protect them. and the same thing parents know that hey, can protect their children. so we have this moment boras, where it blows up into this inferno where the worst-case scenario is a direct strike in an area with massive amounts of civilians turns into a fire and i guess far as the what is that, we should be appalled. we should be heartbroken and we must be outraged, but we should not be surprised. this will continue to happen. this is the level of ferocious attack next, experts that have hit the people of gaza per eight months now beth, do you see this as a violation

of president biden's red line against attacking population centers in rafah. >> how do you imagine the white house might respond wow, they've been threading the needle here, trying to define what is this red line of a major offensive? >> and last week, jake sullivan said that he felt that the way that israel had explained to the united states that they were going to have much more targeted types of operations rather than what we've seen in other parts that the white house was satisfied. now, i think it really comes down to what the, not just what the idf investigation of this that netanyahu has promised, but what the us intelligence community can figure out about what actually happened here? and so it does depend. we don't know exactly, but if it was an actually as the israeli government says, a very targeted strike that went terribly wrong i suspect that the biden administration will say that it doesn't cross the

red lines, but this just complicates the situation so much. and so tragically, for so many because i mean, this tragedy means that no matter what happens here, no matter how it's defined it, it means there will be more and more tragedies coming forward, it makes the end of this much harder david there has been a line, a list of mistakes that the idf has committed. >> they also called the deadly world central kitchen strike a grave mistake that christmas eve strike on the al-maghazi refugee camp that killed at least 70 people. a regrettable mistake. it's still haven't hasn't given a full account of the february mass killing of starving civilians in a food lime in northern gaza does this latest mistake in your mind potentially change the dynamic between the united states and israel i'm afraid what it does

bars is continued the dynamic between united states and israel. >> but the president's red line was clear. initially it was don't go into rafah period that with 10,000,001,000,000.5 people there most of them refugees from the north accidents like this. we're going to happen, didn't believe that the israelis were deliberately going to go after civilians, but merely that civilians were packed in so tightly that it would be difficult to avoid mistakes like this. then the food, the central kitchen disaster happened. and that's what prompted the president, of course, to cut off the 2000 pounds bombs. it doesn't look right now from what the israelis who said is if that's a weapon that we're using, but obviously they use something that was quite lethal to at least 45 civilians. and so it strikes me the president's red line has been crossed here but it was the initial one which

was don't go into rafah or risk having the united states cut off offensive weapons james, i think it's going to be a really tough decisions for the president. >> sure. james, how much does this strike? and obviously the ongoing operation in rafah make it harder to get humanitarian aid and medical support to civilians desperately virus and it's a great, it's a great second part to this horror show that we have spoken to so many months that there was always this risk that you would start to see people dying of disease on the ground in the same way from this ferocious bombardments from the skies. >> now, in the last few weeks, in say, april supplies started getting in. we have an imminent famine in the north a stood with mothers in the north who've done everything to keep their children safe from that relentless bombardment of the north and they're standing over skill little children, despite a board across it crossing

being five or ten minutes away. and yet in the last three weeks since the military offensive in rafah, that gate is been closed. that is the lifeline for humans kind of terrion aid to come in that is what will prevent starvation. that is what will enable medicines to come in, fuel, to come in for hospital. so many that a lot of those birth children last night will go to a hospital that is desperately please overcrowded where doctors are doing 36 hour shifts where they're short of anesthetics were quite possibly they don't have fuel, so they won't be operating with light. so we can not pretend that there's a humanitarian response or anything like the level we want borrows. and as david mentioned, there, world central kitchen this is the most dangerous place to function as an aid worker right now. so there has been there's been a complete breakdown in the way that age should operate based also on the safety and that comes to language, that comes to this idea that we constantly told that aid can operate freely across the gaza strip. i've sat in many

convoys for hours at a time. boras with the idf knowing full well that if we sit there to a certain hour, we can operate at nighttime. we will have to go back. this was called a limited offensive in rafah, 800,000 people have now fled. there's been 60 air attacks in the last three days when i was there in november, we were promised that the south would not possibly in du what the null had and khan younis in the south, i've never seen when my 20 years with unicef a city is devastated like that we must be cleaved move away from the language that's being used and look to the evidence on the ground and the on the ground unfortunately, is not just this, quote, unquote tragic mistake. but there's 14,000 children reportedly killed. >> i don't know how they are defined but that is something unprecedented in modern warfare james beth and david, we have to leave the conversation there. thank you all so much for joining us thank you for coming up closing arguments set for tomorrow in donald trump's

criminal trial. >> we have a library poured on what to look for as the jury prepares to start deliberations. but first, the death toll climbing in the aftermath of severe weather that tore across the midwest and south i'm talking he's governors standing by to join us live, stay with us in the situation room in one of the most active tornado season can't control a tornado. what kinds of interventions can we design go inside the store premiere of blinding birth with liev schreiber sunday at nine on cnn we're trying to save the planet with nuggets because we need the planet and we also need nuggets impossible. >> we're setting the meat problem with more meat here. you can expect to find crystal clear audio expensive display space and. more comfort for

of whether go through new york city earlier, but there's more behind it into the pope canoas, the delaware water gap that will develop redevelop again today and then back out here down here to the bigger storms here from about norfolk all the way down to the hampton roads area. that's where the tornado watch that you just mentioned is that's the red zone right through here. some of these storms could rotate all the way here in the yellow all the way down to the gulf coast, they could be at least severe with some wind and also some hail. the big story i think still right now, 460,000 customers without power across parts of the ohio valley with the obviously bullseye being right there over kentucky we just learned that the death toll from over the weekend climb to 23. what are we learning about how severe those storms were never just everywhere. >> boris, look at the size of this typically will see, you know, one or two states involved. but we're all the way from the east coast, all the way to the rocky mountains. and really kentucky did take its share of damage yesterday

from eddie ville all the way over toward dawson springs. there was a large tornado on the ground i mean, this was easily an ef-3, maybe even approaching 180 miles per hour will have to obviously let the word the service do their job. but this was a violent day. you can look for these red spots all the way from texas through oklahoma, all the way up through here, even not that far west of chicago all of those red dots were tornadoes on the ground, born chad myers. >> thank you so much for the update. joining us now over the phone is kentucky governor andy beshear, governor. thank you so much for joining us a short while ago, you shared that there was a fifth storm-related death in your state. what can you tell us about the victims of this story? furman whether you fear that the death toll might continue to climb this has certainly been a devastating set of storms, for kentucky. >> we have now lost five of our citizens, all children of god miss by their families and their communities four, we lost in the storm itself in the two

ways. in this fifth, we lost during the cleanup overheated and had a heart attack that's a storm-related death, just like any other and his family is going to grieve just like any other. so we're asking everybody that's out there across the country cleaning up today, be careful you are important. your family wants you to come home tonight. but what i can tell you is we've got a lot of amazing people. i mean, i'm outside of a home right now that had its entire roof blown off, but there are probably eight cars up here of people helping now there are the world is filled with really special people. and they show up when it's at its bleakest governor. >> we're sorry to hear the news about that fifth person and our thoughts are with the families of the others as well. can you give us an estimate of how many people were heard, how many people are injured right now? >> well, we don't have many significant injuries, which is a great blessing. that's both because we had medical teams

out there, but we even had a four or a five-year-old girl who is riding a tricycle and a tree fell and barely missed her. while hitting the tricycle. that's now the hand of god at work. but outside of the five we've lost, we don't have well, we have one individual who has a very serious injury. we were worried would not make it as long as fc has, but things are looking at least a little bit better for him. we're glad to hear about that and about the young girl as well. it sounds like you're touring some hard areas. you obviously spoken to local officials and families what did you see as you were looking through these neighborhoods and what are the most urgent needs in kentucky right now well, certainly we had a significant tornado come through parts of hopkins county, came just north of dawson springs to too small unincorporated towns whose whose addresses dawson springs, but they are called charleston

and barnes late and it hit them hard i agree with your meteorologists that we're looking at an ef3 or bigger, just devastated some homes where nothing is left and the people that are here, some of them were hit that same spot in barn, flee the same exact spot was wiped out on the december 2021 tornadoes and there was one lady i was talking to his best friend had come over to help her after her home was devastated and her friend had lost her mother. >> and that last set a tornadoes. so there's also a lot of trauma that goes along with having a another big tornado come through a place where are our deadliest one came through? now, just two-and-a-half years ago, we've got tough people. we love each other and kentucky, we're going to be there for each other i've been out all day and al satellite. we know what it's like to rebuild from a tornado so we've got all our services out where we're mobilizing to help people. we've opened up a state park for those that need

to stay a few extra days were already processing claims. we're working with insurance adjusters that are responded really, really well that are out there and out there early. so we're making progress. and when someone's lost, everything the hardest thing to do is start picking up the first thing and maybe when you, when you don't have hope and a governor or the head of the national guard or others suddenly show up at your house and it gives you just a little bit no question about that. governor andy beshear. we hope you get all the resources that you need and that you keep us posted on the recovery. thanks so much for joining us. >> thank you for more information on how you can help storm victims. >> you can head over to cnn.com/impact. we have a list of organizations on the ground that have been vetted and or accepting donations up next is a crucial week in the criminal trial of former president donald trump. closing arguments are set for tomorrow morning with a jury, then set to disarm

todd blanche making this summations, and we're expecting the defense only put up to witnesses over the course of about 90 minutes. donald trump did not testify in his own defense, but of course, the defense doesn't have to put up a case. it is all up to the prosecution to prove their case beyond a reasonable doubt. and that's exactly what the defense will stress here. and they'll probably okay. as much of their closing on michael cohen. they'll talk about how the jury should doubt his credibility. talk about the fact that he's a convicted liar, and then ask the jury to really the skeptical of michael cohen pointing the finger at donald trump, tying him directly to this scheme. and more importantly, tying him directly to the repayment when it comes to the prosecution, they'll talk about michael cohen, but they'll say it's not just michael cohen's testimony testimony. it's also all of the evidence we have painstakingly amassed through all those other witnesses and they'll point to the basis of the 34 count indictment for falsification of business records, which includes the 11

checks to reimburse michael cohen, many of which were signed by donald trump also the 11 invoices and then the 12 vouchers. so they will really focus and probably on that hard evidence as opposed to just michael cohen's testimony. so it's going to be hours of closing, smart borrow. it could run all day after that point, whether it's tomorrow afternoon or even wednesday morning, the judge will then charge the jury, give them the jury instructions, and then it's deliberations, and we'll see how long those last yeah. >> it's supposed to take about an hour or the delivering of the instructions could be pivotal in the case, depending on how jurors read those, they probably will be pivotal, how the judge tells the jury to evaluate the law. yeah. and then how they apply to the facts, just because schneider thanks. so much for walking us through that. look forward to a busy day. thanks so much. >> let's bring in our legal experts now, jennifer rodgers and victoria nurse are with us. >> jennifer, how important are closing arguments? in a case like this, especially after the jury's had about a week off

yeah, it's incredibly important for us. >> it's always important. the summations are critical time for both sides. but here, where there's been such stopping and starting with the evidence two, they really need to remind the jurors of what happened weeks ago. now he did pecker was the first witness, and that seems like ages ago, so prosecutors will really want to take the jury in a really organized way through the evidence and explain how it is that the evidence meets up with the law as the judge will describe it to them, so that they've met their burden the defense really will do the opposite, right there. summation is critical as well, but more for saying, listen, this is messy, this is not clean cut. there's so much reasonable doubt here. you can't possibly convict so critical for both sides, really high-stakes so victoria just based on what jennifer laid out for the defense, i imagined that part of them showing this whole thing is messy and not clear cut is going after michael cohen's testimony and his credibility. >> do you think that'll be central to their approach to

closing? >> yeah i, mean i think that their only job here is to convince them that there are reasonable doubts and that's what they're going to say. you can't listen to michael cohen. he said there was no retainer because that's key to the question of whether trump lied on the business records they'll say that his story just doesn't add up i think it's for the advantage of the prosecution that they are going glass because they'll have the chance to give the jury and complete and compelling story and that's where it's as jennifer indicated, this is very important for the prosecution. the jurors have not been in for a long time. they need to hear the whole story put together simply that donald trump paid off a porn star and then he falsified the records to hide it for the purposes of winning an election and i got to prove all, each element of that jennifer when it comes to the prosecution and they're going last, how important is it for them to

make the case to jurors that they could prove trump's guilt, even without michael cohen's testimony. yeah, boars, they definitely will make a point. it's interesting in new york, the defense goes first, prosecutors go last in federal court, prosecutors get to go first. the an last. >> so that's what certainly at least todd, blanche, and emil bove air are used to. so this is a different way of doing things, but it's critical for them to say listen, michael cohen, usually you would say something along the lines of you don't have to like him but let me tell you why you should believe him. >> here's why he's corroborated, et cetera, et cetera. but i think prosecutor silver will also want to make the point, as you mentioned, that even without michael cohen, they can still convict some of that is because there's only really one area where michael cohen provides the only direct evidence and that's as to whether the former president and knew about the way the reimbursement scheme was happening. >> and even their prosecutors will say, listen, you heard evidence from so many witnesses

here that he never paid a cent without knowing exactly what it was for, you knew that the invoices were stapled to the checks. >> there's just no way given all that you've heard that he didn't know exactly what was going on? use your common sense with all of this. so i think they certainly will make the argument that while jurors should believe michael cohen, they don't have to in order to convict the jury, is there a key piece of evidence or testimony that you expect the jury is going to focus on during deliberations well, they have to focus on the documents and oppressions if they're false records. i mean, this is like an obstruction case, so they can believe the whole thing about the catch and kill scheme that david pecker enunciated, but not believed that the records we're falsified. so there'll be looking at the records. they say retainer, michael cohen says no, there was no retainer. obviously, that's about his credibility. but it was also the story is whether that all
