doctors preferred better science, better results violin earth with we have trimer premiere sunday at nine on cnn trump's lawyers and prosecutors will square off trying to win over the jury of seven and and five women. they may well try to pitch much of the jury on their closing. that trump was really relying on his lawyer in this instance the anc can fill stadiums, yes. >> but it also has a formidable ground game. >> look at the electoral support every is going down. >> always difficult let me to talk. i don't know. it's going to be the last time that i gonna be here in front of all of you live from london. this

is cnn newsroom with max foster hello and a. >> warm welcome to our viewers joining us from around the world. >> i max foster is tuesday, may the 28th, miami. i'm here in london, 4m in new york city. were closing arguments will soon get underway in the historic donald trump hush money case. jurors have been away since last tuesday due to the us memorial day memorial day weekend, and they'll likely begin deliberating the fate of the former us president on wednesday. but first, prosecutors will try to weave together weeks of testimony and evidence from these 20 witnesses to convince jurors that trump is guilty of falsifying business records with the intent of inference the 2016 election, much of their case hinges on the testimony of michael cohen donald trump's former lawyer and fixer. there's no time

limits on the summations both sides could use visual aids to drive home their points. the defense will present their closing arguments first, and trump has been complaining on social media about his team not getting the last word. the also posted that he'll go before the judge to quote, see whether or not he'll become a common criminal former white house counsel john dean, weighed in on the defense team's possible strategy. during those final remarks all throughout this trial has been an effort by the defense, by the trump team to slide in the fact that he was really relying on council, that michael cohen was a lawyer. >> so he thought this was all okay because cohen would do it the correct way in the legal way that argument got taken off the table. it very early with the what evidence could come in and they may well try to pitch much of the jury on their closing that trump was really reliant on his lawyer in this instance. i think that's one of

the wildcards and what are the judge who hates to interrupt a closing? we'll find himself confronted with having to object to or the when the government objects to it, he'll sustain it and they'll not be able to make that argument now, trump could get 20 years in prison if convicted. cnn's kara scannell has a preview of today's closing arguments donald trump watching nascar in north carolina this weekend, while his hush money trial approaches the final lap in new york i think by a lot, trump's lawyers and prosecutors will square off trying to win over the jury of seven men and five women. >> prosecutors called 20 witnesses over five weeks and in their closing arguments, they're expected to tie testimony together with a paper trail of text messages phone calls, and the records at the center of the case. the 11 invoices seeking payment pursuant to a retainer agreement doesn't vouchers and

11 checks. most signed by trump i think we have there is, no during the trial, the jury heard from former members of trump's inner circle the publisher of the national enquirer, david pecker, campaign aide, hope hicks, and his former fixer and personal attorney, michael cohen, who is the only witness to directly tied trump to the cover up. trump's its attorneys are up first and closings and are expected to attack cohen's credibility, arguing to the jury that they cannot find trump guilty based on the testimony of a convicted liar, michael cohen is a convicted liar and he's got no credibility whatsoever. >> cohen was on the witness stand for five days telling the jury trump called adult film actress stormy daniels story a disaster for his campaign and directed cohen to take care of it. cohen testifying he spoke with trump twice to get his approval just before wiring the

$130,000 payment to daniels attorney to block her story of an alleged affair with trump from becoming public to influence instead, 2016 election. trump denies the affair, and i can't even tell you how many times he said to me, you know, i hate the fact that we did it and my comment to him was, but every person that you've spoken to told you it was the right move? >> he told the jury that trump signed off on the repayment scheme in a meeting at trump tower with former trump organization cfo allen weisselberg, cohen walked the jury through the 34 allegedly falsified five documents, testifying there was no retainer agreement. the money was payback for the daniels deal there's $35,000 check was one of 11 check installments that was paid throughout the year while he was president the president of the united states. >> thus wrote a personal check for the payment of hush money.

as part of a criminal scheme to violate campaign finance laws trump attorney todd blanche has used cohen's own words to bolster their defense that cohen would say anything to take trump down and is out for revenge. >> he truly hope that this man ends up in prison trump's lawyers are also expected to highlight the witnesses that the prosecution did not call, including weisselberg, who was in that meeting with cohen and keith schiller, trump's former bodyguard, who was with trump during the campaign closings are expected to go all day tuesday, on wednesday. >> the judge will instruct the jury on the law what prosecutors need to prove in order to win it conviction. and then the jury will begin deliberations. the jury of seven men and five women will continue until they reach a verdict. kara scannell, cnn, new york the un security council is set to hold an emergency meeting in the hours ahead. it's a deadly israeli airstrike can rafah spark's growing international outrage

gaza officials say the strike on sunday killed at least 45 people. and injured more than 200, mostly women and children at a camp for displaced palestinians. according to a us official, israeli israel claims and explosion from the strike ignited a fuel tank nearby starting a fire which raced through the camp so that explanation hasn't been confirmed. the israeli military says is investigating the strike, which it claims killed two senior hamas officials, israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu, had this reaction no more, tamam out, despite our best effort not to harm those not involved. unfortunately, a tragic mistake happened last night. we are investigating the case condemnation from around the world has been swift with protests and a number of cities. un agencies, aid groups, and several governments of calling on israel to respect last week's ruling by the international court of justice, which ordered israel to immediately halt its offensive in rafah, this comes as spain, ireland, and norway each plan

to make a formal declaration two day, recognizing a palestinian state white house official called the rafah strike heartbreaking, adding the us is actively engaging with israeli officials to determine what happened in a statement and national security council spokesperson said, in part, israel has a right to go after hamas and we understand this strike killed two senior hamas terrorists, but israel must take every precaution possible to protect civilians. >> nauta is here with us now pointing to this fuel tank that was there, surely that should've been part of the intelligence gathering beforehand. >> that is certainly what we're hearing from me. humanitarian organizations, this was an area known to be housing thousands of civilians in these tents. it is densely populated and crucially, this was a safe zone. this wasn't one of the areas in rafah that the israeli military had previously ordered to evacuate to gaza's coast. so this should have been a focus on the civilian impacts here clearly, that it was not the case, and this has drawn fierce criticism from members

of the international community, including in particular the united nations. we've heard from the un secretary general antonio gatera condemned israel's actions, but also reiterated there is no safe place in gaza. he added this horror must stop and of course, following that statement that we just heard from prime minister benjamin netanyahu we're describing this in his words as a tragic mistake. we had this statement from the un's humanitarian affairs chief martin griffiths saying whether the attack was a war crime, in his words or a tragic mistake for the people of gaza. there is no debate what happened last night was the latest and possibly most cruel abomination that to call it a mistake as netanyahu did means nothing for those killed. and grieving. now of course, we are expecting to see later today an emergency meeting of the security council and where we are expecting further condemnation and growing pressure for israel to hold his actions in rafah, as was ordered by the international courts have been several of these mistakes. and the more often they happen, the less they the more they question

whether or not there is a criminal case to answer. in terms of these key european countries now recognizing a palestinian state, where are we with that? >> we are expecting spain, ireland, and norway to formally recognize the state of palestine. they will, they'll be joining 140 other countries and doing so heard from the spanish prime minister pedro sanchez, who said that his intention in doing this is to achieve lasting peace. in his words, between the israelis and palestinians, take us at the meeting of the council of ministers that will be held today. the government of spain will approve the official recognition of palestine as a state with this decision, spain joints the more than 140 countries that already recognize palestine this is a historic decision that has a single goal to contribute to achieving peace between israelis and palestinians now sanchez went on to say that the state of palestine must be

viable with the west bank and gaza connected via corridor and with east jerusalem as its capital for the question around the viability of a palestinian state has really become a point of focus because when we're talking about the occupied west bank, what we have seen in practical terms is the erosion of that framework, particularly as well as international of as members of the international community continues to push not only for a ceasefire before lasting two-state solution. >> and what we've seen over the course because of the war of the course of more than seven months now is the expansion of these illegal israeli settlements in the occupied west bank, which essentially is eroding any framework for a viable palestinian state in the occupied west bank. and in fact, in march, we heard from israel's far-right finance minister announcing the further seizure of land in the occupied west bank there are real questions as to whether this can actually be viable regardless of the recognition by these nations of the state of palestine or another. >> thank you so much 47 million people across the us are bracing for severe weather today after a weekend of deadly

storm systems and tornadoes parts of texas run the risk of harsh storms in the coming hours. in addition to flood warnings, excessive heat warnings, and advisories according to the national weather service, it comes after a weekend of more than 600 storm reports and more than 100 tornado warnings, you can clearly see the funnel cloud in this video, taken in missouri on sunday, the busiest severe weather day of the year so far, 11 de or spoke with texas residents who survived a tornado now faced with cleaning up what they have left and what the storm left behind a crushed 20 stage. >> there were more than 630 locations reporting storm damage on sunday, making it the busiest severe weather day of the year in texas. seven people were killed when a tornado ripped through this subdivision near the small city of valley view but benito esparza, erased here saturday night to help his brothers family. the family was inside their home and the

residents escaping with harrowing stories of survival may my wife and our four month old, we helped in the tab and it just sound like attorney in all of a sudden, my husband screamed run and we grabbed the dog and ran down to the basement. but before that, i saw the water swirling around and hitting our window right in their back in valley view, texas. frank garcia's father built this cinderblock storm shelter by hand. they ran inside as the tornado approached. >> and you could feel the tornado hit. >> and then out of nowhere, you just hear the wind our wailing are and and at that point, we knew we knew that we were going to have some damage. i mean, for sure, but i don't think i realized now the whole magnitude of everything until you started walking. now through terrifying, definitely going to leave a scar in this town for for a bit when they saw the shattered remnants of their home after the storm, they knew the shelter save their lives so now thousands of

people are left cleaning up the pieces. this was the home of mike gonzalez. he was inside that home when the tornado struck here in texas. he survived, was able to walk out with his wife, but soon the district structure like this, we'll look like this. and that is what many residents here have done simply bulldozed everything in piles and burned it here in pits. that is what the cleanup process it's looking like right now. ed lavandera, cnn's in cooke county, texas thousands of people have been ordered to evacuate a remote region in papua new guinea, where a massive landslide is fear to buried more than 2000 people fouls. officials say the area remains unstable with huge rocks and debris is still falling four days after the initial landslide, which was on friday. those conditions are making recovery efforts more dangerous as crews struggle to reach the area for more or less, go to cnn's anna coren, alive in hong kong. so the rescue efforts, i mean the

growing outside taiwan's legislature with lawmakers once again debating controversial reforms aimed at the presidency opposition leaders are pushing for tighter scrutiny or the island's new president and his administration protesters warn the bill could undermine taiwan's democratic institutions and lead to greater influence from china. >> the measure has sparked heated debate in sayyed parliament with a broad breaking out earlier this month in is mike of valeriia is following developments lie for us from hong kong. so mike, what are we expecting in the next few hours as these things play out well, max, it's likely that we're going to see the number of demonstrators grow and the themes that we're watching at this hour are protestors saying in their view, this is an overreach of parliament, something that could endanger taiwan's national no security. >> so it's worth talking about how critics got to this dire warning. well, the bill would strengthen the powers of the legislature, which would allow lawmakers to demand sensitive information from, let's say,

the president or the military, for example things like that, max happen all the time in the united states and the uk, it's a check and balance of government but the protesters here are saying this bill is incredibly vague very broad, and the parties supporting it, the guomindang and the taiwan people's party advocate closer ties to china critics are concerned that sensitive information were talking about state secrets, for example, could be demanded, then leaked from lawmakers who support closer china ties and end up in chinese hands themselves. listen to what some of the protesters are telling us the process does not reflect our democratic value. i will slowly lose my trust and taiwan's democracy if they continue to pass new laws in this matter, i hope through this protest, we can stop or slow down, and improve the process. >> so max, this bill is likely to pass later today, advocates

are saying this is simply a check and balance, but protesters say this is being totally rushed, very similar to the soundbite we just heard from a couple of seconds ago and has minimal debate. and this could, from their point of view, see the islands secrets falling into the wrong hands. max. >> okay. valeriia in hong kong. thank you the vatican has yet to respond to reports that pope francis used an anti gay slur in a recent meeting with italian bishops two italian newspapers reported on may the 20th at a closed-door meeting in which the pope allegedly said, gay men should not be allowed to train for the priesthood. let's bring as soon as vatican correspondent christopher lamb of course, there are speaking to an italian today and she said this word can be more offensive well, max, yeah, these reports that the pope used is anti-gay slur really causing a big stir. the vatican has not yet commented on them. they were

reported to have been made during a behind closed doors meeting with italian bishops, where the pope and the bishops were discussing proposals around admitting gay men to seminary to train for the priesthood. now, pope francis has upheld that vatican ruling back, which goes back to 2005, that says that gay men should not be admitted to the priesthood. and in this meeting, the pope reported lead said no to gay men being allowed to train for the priesthood, allegedly, he said that there's a danger that they could live a double life if there are gay men in the seminaries, it should be stated though, that when the pope made this slur, which was effect effectively to say that there's too much of a gay climate in the seminaries that he wasn't fully aware of the offensive nature of the term. he was speaking in italian. of course, the pope's mother tongue is spanish, and he has made mistakes in italian in the

past. nevertheless, if the pope was two who have intentionally made this homophobic slur, then it would undercut the pope's attempts to be more welcoming to lgbtq plus catholics. and that's something that he has tried to do throughout his pontificate in 2013, he famously said, who am i to judge, when asked about that's gay priests. he a few months ago open the possibility of blessings for same-sex couples and has called for the decriminalization of homosexuality. so these remarks really would jar with what the pope has been trying to do when it comes to welcoming gay catholics. max okay. christopher lamb and cambria, england. thank you south africa is rolling a and c party is hoping it can win enough votes to stay in power. it as the country and just blackouts in stark inequality the case. it's making to voters next in

as we'll head to the polls on wednesday in what could be a momentous general election, the african national congress party is facing serious challenges to his 30 year rule of the country suffers from high unemployment coming stagnation, power cuts, and rampant corruption. >> david mckenzie joins me now from johannesburg. what are you looking out for in particular david? >> next, we really looking out for whether the anc will slip below 50% majority. now that would have been unthinkable. some years ago for three decades, the party of nelson mandela has been really the powerhouse of south african politics and in recent years though, they seem to be training more and they legacy than a policy achievements. the question will be, how also africans vote it? worker million butter knows how to gin up a crowd he's volunteered for

the anc see, since he was just 15. but now it's crunch time when i saw it is supporting the anc because he has been supporting us the party of nelson mandela needs their voices. and it's really needs their boats 50 years in power in the party that has defined south african politics faces its strongest challenge, yet this could be the most firstly contested election since the dawn of south africa is democracy. and many believe that the majority, but there's a whole don't count them out the anc can fill stadiums, yes. but it also has a formidable ground game spending vast sums on this campaign, getting right into neighborhoods with senior leaders voting for anc. until now, why do you still want to

vote for the answer? i want to vote because my nc you went for me millions of south african is like pretty kuala depend on modest government, social grants to survive for decades. these grants have been the parties trump card but south africans, one more breath taking unemployment sustained electricity, blackouts, and stark inequalities have left many feeling betrayed hey, by the promises of the a and c. >> so that all the ministry, once loyal supporters, are abandoning the anc, even forming their own parties they are more than 50 on the national ballot avoided for the anc twice. >> all these people here before the georgia of the musta vote for the anc. look at the ncaa's electron for all support. every is going down the anc government has presided over huge allegations of corruption. >> and there is a very significant problem with unemployment. why should people this time vote for this party

given that record, we are a party that they've made strides in terms of renewal and fighting the stigma. so to say, of being associated with corruption, is it enough to win the selection? are you feeling competent? they elections will be worn on the basis of the work we do among our people. >> and as we can see, we are not idly. >> never idle during campaign season. but on election day, will voters be singing a different tune no. >> so polls in south africa can be pretty unreliable opinion polls that is, but there is a sense that they could dip below that 50% threshold in a parliamentary system. that will mean the answer will be forced to join up with an opposition party or several to remain in power. max okay. >> and in terms of the opposition parties what are the chances then forming a government blocked without the anc?

>> well, certainly not impossible statistically, should they get collectively more than 50%, but they are very wide ideological differences, max between some of the key opposition party you have the classically liberal democratic alliance, which is the pro-business pro rule of law official opposition. and then on the other end of the spectrum and you have groups likely economic economic freedom fighters under julius malema, which is very much a populist party that is looking to have more radical change for those they believe have been underserved by the anc government. so i think from a political standpoint would be, i'd likely for those two groupings to band together it really depends how well the anc does. it could squeak other 50%. but if it drops below that key threshold by a significant margin, it will have to do some serious negotiating with these parties to see who in fact is going to rule this country over the next five years. max and z
