4:02 pm
you will hear from two doctors who are inside gaza, where dozens of american aid workers are now trapped after is really forces took over the rafah crossing. let's do it. we are less than 24 hours away from a pivotal moment in donald trump's hush money trial, what the new york times describes as the climax of a decades long relationship between two new york loudmouths who use who at least know each other, they will now face off on the biggest stage, the first criminal trial of an american president. michael cohen, donald trump's warmer lawyer and fixer and the prosecution star witness will take the stand tomorrow, the long-awaited testimony is expected to be heated as
4:03 pm
tensions and insults have been bubbling up over the past several years. so how did michael cohen go from fixer, to on fixer? their relationship traces back to 2006 when comber joined the trump organization as an executive and lawyer, he soon became trump's right-hand man taking on questionable tasks outside of this attorney role. as he writes in his own book he once threatened to take a paint company -- also became as enmeshed in trump's personal life as he was in his businesses, trump once put him on the phone with his wife, melania, asking him to reassure her that he was being faithful. but the most contested favor that trump -- michael cohen did for trump is at the center of this criminal case, his $130,000 payment to adult film actress stormy daniels at the peak of the 2016 campaign in an attempt to silence her.
4:04 pm
trump and cohen's relationship inflated when the details of this came to light in 2018, the ex-president wrote him off when cohen was imprisoned , but six years later, the tables have now turned. from facing 34 counts for allegedly falsifying business records and ties to covering up his reimbursement to cohen and cohen on the stand, ready to spill all the details. charles, your thoughts about where michael cohen fits into
4:05 pm
this, why is he the star witness and more importantly, what does he have to tell in order to deliver for the prosecutions case? >> he is a critical witness for the prosecution because he is serving as a linchpin to connect all the dots that every witness before him has placed on the table around donald trump and his actions. one of the things that the prosecution hasn't been able to do is to actually connect donald trump himself, to the different things that were happening. it's all been, i was speaking to nikole cohen, i spoke to cohen and he is the one to say i was in touch with trump, he was aware, we don't have many people who can do that yet and the prosecution is going to need to do that, so that's where michael cohen comes in. i think if i'm the prosecution in this case, i don't want him
4:06 pm
classified as the star witness, i still want the documents classified as the star witness and i want michael cohen to play the role as the supporting actor, and i also went -- one, when he gets on the stand for him to remember that because he's remaking a lot of out-of- court statements and that unquestionably is going to be something that the defense is going to seize on during his cross-examination, so you want to minimize his need to be in the spotlight and remember, hey, you're here to make sense of these documents, to connect the dots and lead the money trail and everything else back to the defendant, donald trump. >> will that depend on the questioning, because the good prosecutor were learn how to make the questions narrow and get his witness to answer the questions that he needed and not perhaps try and seize the moment and the spotlight. >> it depends on the questions but also whether michael cohen can avoid his blood lust for revenge with respect to donald trump and respond the way that things need to be responded to
4:07 pm
and do his job as a witness, simply answering the questions that are asked and telling the truth. >> how explosive do think the testimony will be? this is a guy who loves the spotlight, has a lot of credibility problems, of his own, based on what he has said and what he's been in trouble for in the past, will we learn something new in all of this? >> remember, even on friday, as court was wrapping up, there was a discussion where the judge said michael cohen has promised on twitter that he wouldn't say anything, donald trump is trying to get a release of some of his gag order so he can speak about some of the witnesses and michael quit cohen, he continues to say stuff on social media. and the judge talked to the prosecutors on friday, and said, tell your witness, i know that they can't do it by court order but the judge was imploring them to have a discussion, just to take it easy this weekend. you wonder how he's going to do on the stand. i think on direct when the
4:08 pm
government will be asking him questions, i think they're going to keep him right to the corners of the documents and the testimony that's already happened, they will look for him to cooperate and the documents are great, there are 34 documents, he will have to speak to those but they don't speak to the intent and that is where the government has to get to if they are going to get a guilty verdict but i think what everybody is waiting for is how he does on cross-examination. i saw him on the civil trial, and there wasn't the explosive moments that you would imagine but this is completely different. this goes to the heart of why he spent time in jail and it goes to the heart of the grudge match, he's written books called disloyal and revenge. >> could that in and of itself be used against him? >> i think all his outbursts
4:09 pm
since the trial started will be. i think it's going to be a very contentious cross-examination, and i think the lawyers doing it are a bit more on the ball than those on the civil trial, so i think you are going to see, i think the real fireworks emma they will come on cross. >> and all of this raises questions about how trump is going to behave, you know, this past week, he was barely able to keep it together when stormy daniels took the stand, he apparently cursed under his breath when she was describing the alleged sexual encounter. i can't imagine what trump will do this week as he hears michael cohen, really take this case straight to the heart of the central question of the crime that is alleged. >> and with regards to the gag order, he's already tried to lash ought -- out on true
4:10 pm
social, trying to find ways to get around it, i think trump will be very flustered, he doesn't like to be undermined and doesn't like to be undermined and he has to sit in a courtroom and be silent and have to listen to him, have to listen to somebody that he saw as you know, kind of a low person, like somebody that works for him, somebody that did his bidding and now having to watch that person you know, try and send him to jail, that is not something that matches with donald trump's attitude very well. i think to the other thing, this is an unsavory guy and we don't have to pretend otherwise. but there have been a lot of cases like this. this is not the only case where there's a criminal dealing with unsavory characters. it's important for the biden folks and other folks on the democratic side, not wanting to valorize this, i think they've been handling this
4:11 pm
appropriately. >> to tim's point, it's common to use small criminals to get bigger criminals. that's how it works when you're trying to bring down a criminal enterprise. is there something the prosecution does tomorrow or however long he's on the stand, that blunts the criticism that the defense is certainly going to use to try to discredit him and delegitimize him? >> the biggest thing they have to do, they have to be very real and candid about michael collins share disdain for donald trump. i think you have to address it, because, if you don't, when he gets on the standard cross- examination, you are going to hear about the fact that you really don't like donald trump in fact, you were selling merchandise that had donald trump depicted behind bars, you've said publicly, on a number of different occasions that your mission is to make sure that donald trump is held accountable and you believe that means him going to jail and pandering destiny hammering
4:12 pm
that home if you are the prosecution, comes with the ability to massage it, navigate it but if you are the defense and this is the first time that the jury is getting to explore this level of vitriol that he has, it's not going to be good so if you are the prosecution, you have to get that out, spend some time, going through how many times you've talked about it, how extensively you have been vocal about your dislike for donald trump and then, after all of that, you have to be able to say, but these documents, these checks, they didn't like, these are his signature, you have to make those connections after you've done everything you've done to say essentially at the end of the day when you get submission, two things can be true, michael cohen can have a very strong disdain for donald trump and he can be someone who was told falsehoods in the past and could be someone who spent
4:13 pm
time in jail for perjury and he can also sit here and connect the dots and tell you the truth about payments that he processed on donald trump's behalf in violation of the law and i suspect that is what they will do. >> i want to turn to recent outburst that we heard from trump, this was him at a rally yesterday, spouting off about a fictional tv character, watch. >> the late great hannibal lector, is a wonderful man, he oftentimes would have a friend for dinner, and about to have a friend for dinner but hannibal lector, congratulations. >> this is a mentally unstable person, this is not a person, and joking aside, throughout the day people have been making fun of him and cracking jokes but when you look at this, this is a person whose mental state is not all there, he's praising a serial killer who eats his
4:14 pm
victims who also is a fictional one at that. >> it's even worse than that if possible, things go all over the place, but he seemed to be comparing immigrants coming into the country, to hannibal lector as part of that effort, and that got lost in the comparison. the speeches are very long, they don't make a lot of sense. i'm not one to be like trump is deteriorating but i think objectively, if you look at the speeches from 2015, it was not churchill but it was a character, a category difference from what we are seeing now and the material is conspiratorial, there's a lot of lies but there's also a lot of just nonsense. >> it's also troubling, you are just kind of alarmed by the fact that this person is still the front runner or the presumptive nominee for the republican party. i know, it's mother's day and you want to give a shot out to your mom? >> my favorite girl, violet coleman in georgia, can't be there because i'm here, but love and miss you and happy mother's day to her and my younger sister, monica. >> i hope you sent some flowers
4:15 pm
to your mom. >> of course. >> please stick around, we will talk to you guys after the break, coming up, trump and humility, two words that don't go together. could the hush money trial actually change that? right... for a better clean with less... it's got to be tide. i told myself i was ok with my moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis symptoms. with my psoriatic arthritis symptoms. but just ok isn't ok. and i was done settling. if you still have symptoms after a tnf blocker like humira or enbrel, rinvoq is different and may help. rinvoq is a once-daily pill that can rapidly relieve joint pain, stiffness, and swelling in ra and psa. relieve fatigue... and stop further joint damage. and in psa, can leave skin clear or almost clear. rinvoq can lower your ability to fight infections, including tb. serious infections and blood clots, some fatal;

chef's kiss. anyone who knows me knows these words don't reflect who i am. i said it, i was wrong, and i apologize. >> back in 2016 trump was doing major damage control after the week of the infamous access hollywood tape, trump and his team were so worried about the political fallout that they thought an apology was warranted. at the time some republicans withdrew their endorsements and called on trump to drop out of the 2016 race. here's the thing, trump has not apologized for anything since. and those conservative supporters, their values, they have clearly shifted. here is senator jd vance
4:20 pm
earlier. >> after the access hollywood tape in 2016, you tweeted, quote, fellow christians, everyone is watching when we apologize for this man, lord help us, you have deleted that tweet. do you still feel that way about trump's sexual indiscretions. >> for small trump is not on trial for sexual indiscretions but look my view on donald trump, is i was wrong about him. >> the access hollywood tape popped up again at the beginning of the hush money trial and again last week when more explicit details of trump's past came out to haunt him, was his testimony from stormy daniels, left trump totally exposed but all these years later, the effect is different, the party that impeached clinton for his inappropriate affair with monica lewinsky have gone from condemnation, to praise. >> there's no person on planet earth that believes donald trump has been celibate all his life.
4:21 pm
>> how great must it be to work for trump. >> truly he screw the brains out of her, that makes him a sex god. >> has you can see trump sycophants are out in full force, disgusting force but as the washington post asks the big question in this trial, beyond the eventual verdict, is whether people being reminded about such things could hurt trump. suzanne craig and tim miller are back with us. stormy daniels gave a very important testimony but in the cross-examination by the defense, they really went after her really hard, some would say, dragged her, but in the process of doing so, were they
4:22 pm
actually effective in trying to discredit the central point that she was making about the relationship she had with trump? >> it's a hard question because it depends on who you are, donald trump have walked away thinking it was affected -- effective. i, sitting in the courtroom was very uncomfortable and i thought it went too far, people have used the nuts and face, it was like because you are an adult film star, you have a sign on you saying it's okay, you will sleep with anybody, and that was the sort of line of questioning, it felt like something from the 1970s, like a telegraph from another era and it went on and on. i was uncomfortable. i was visibly moving in my seat. it made me that and countable and i thought it went too far and it was unnecessary. the other thing they did with stormy daniels, that i thought
4:23 pm
was just fascinating, stormy daniels gave as good as she got, there were moments where the lawyer for donald trump would ask her a question and say, did you say this, the words were like, do you really want to see him incarcerated, and she would say, read me that, i don't remember saying that and they would produce a document that didn't say those words it said something sort of like that but not really, that happened several times and every time stormy daniels without fail said, show me the document, i want to see it and it was red and it was not represented correctly. this went on and on but susan necheles, she kept doing it, and there was another point where they even argued, it went on for quite a while, i would say half an hour to an hour, there was a line of questioning about did donald trump invite stormy daniels for dinner, well what are the eat and she said we went to dinner but i didn't eat, this back and forth about today have food or not, trying to show an inconsistency in the story, it went on for a while and i was like, is this all you've gotten, michael cohen is
4:24 pm
a different witness and he's a lawyer, i think the gender issue will be big, so it'll be interesting to see how it goes but it's going to be a rough day for him on cross. >> so tim, if there was any hint that trump had any shame back then over this scandal, it's clear, he feels no shame now, he almost embraces it and under that system of no shame and no apologizing, is there a scenario in which trump is hurt by any of this? >> i do think so, i think this is conventional wisdom that trump was not hurt by the access hollywood tape, but the reality was if you look at the polls around the access hollywood tape, they went down and then he recovered, after the letter and the focused turned back on him, he has been hurt, i think we have this wisdom on both sides, i think
4:25 pm
the story that stormy daniels told was not about him being a sex god, it was the opposite, sad, gross old man using his power to manipulate someone into having sex with them while there's a security guard outside the door. it was a sad and pathetic story and i think if you add into that with what e. jean carroll said, people are reminded of this. look, is that a silver bullet? i think it's politically damaging. >> let me ask about republicans and specifically, what you saw in the clip that we played for people like jd vance, this 180 degree flip from slamming trump back in 2016 after the tape came out to now basically saying that he was wrong, not donald trump and what that says
4:26 pm
about those that are still standing with donald trump, these republicans. >> it's like paul turning into solomon. the whole thing is very strange to watch. he was obviously right then. look for people that want to survive in the trump era made a deal with the devil, but they've had to come to terms with it, and that's the only way that they have demonstrated that they can survive and jd vance in particular is on the vp shortlist. there's nothing more complicated than that. they are lying in order to advance their political careers and they have may be convinced themselves on some level because it's important for humans to rationalize that maybe this is now right and they used to be wrong but obviously, that's not true. >> what a sad state of affairs that is.

4:32 pm
the time because then no one really knew what a deepfake was, sure, you can see it's a bit of a hack job and fake if you look closely on the screen but compared to what new artificial intelligence programs are able to create now, seven years later, remember, these ai generated photos of trump with black supporters, that made the rounds earlier this year, that was fake. it was debunked by bbc panorama, not photoshop but digitally fabricated and circulated on social media by his supporters. the technology is becoming a real problem for election officials and they worry that ai generated contact -- content could full election workers themselves and in arizona a massive effort is underway to train election workers about the dangers of ai ahead of the november election. it is being spearheaded by the secretary of state who, look at this training video and we will talk about it after, but watch. >> this video was produced as part of our 2024 statewide
4:33 pm
election security tabletop exercise. it was created with both the consent and cooperation of the real secretary fontes which again, is not me, i'm an ai impersonation of him. i want to warn you not just about the quality of deepfake's and how they can be weaponized against american populations but specifically how malicious actors can confuse the public by impersonating our websites. >> okay so that was not the real adrian fontes, that was not the secretary of state, that was explicitly designed for training purposes by the brennan center, using generative ai. let's get real here, it is kind of terrifying, the real secretary of state, adrian fontes joins me now. it's great to have you back on the show. you've been outspoken about the threats that the ai technology poses for election security, talk to us about what drove your concerns and how you actually potentially see it
4:34 pm
being a problem, specifically? >> first of all, happy mother's day, and let's not be all doom and gloom but artificial intelligence is a coin, there is a not so great side and a great side and we are being very cautious on the not so great side, it came to our attention many years ago but the secretary of state's office, we have to prepare for everything. prepare for potential power outages and the possibility of getting locked out of some spaces we might be leasing. on the night before the election, which has happened here to us. we need to be prepared, and the notion of artificial intelligence and the messages that can be generated, like the image that you saw of myself, some of which we've been using in trainings that include me speaking languages i don't speak, german, french, italian, russian and we presented some of these at a forum not too long ago.
4:35 pm
the thing is this. we got it amplifier of bad messages. so the weapon is the bad message but this is the thing that boosts it, across social media, across your phone lines, across email's and other modes of communication, so we've got to look at it and see what it is for what it is and trained to be able to address it and really being familiar with it in the first place so we don't just get caught on our heels when these sorts of weapons start getting used against us as we get closer to the election. if you meet up with something you've never seen before, you've got to figure out what it is. we need to know what the bad guys are doing and get ahead of them, if we can, to prepare so we can have a solid 2020 for election like all of the elections that we've had over the past several years. >> we will put this deepfake again, we will put the side-by- side and we are showing you the fake adrian fontes, you are
4:36 pm
training -- first of all, how did you react when you saw this video of the fake you for the first time and how did election workers react to seeing this deepfake version of you as well? >> my first reaction was a bit of disbelief in fact the first iteration of this back in december when we first started training, a lot of our officials , i don't think it was as good as this one. the technology is advancing fast and we've been moving our training forward, moving our policies forward to meet with the new technology as it develops, my first reaction was disbelief and really curiosity. the folks that saw the training and saw me, not the real me but my avatar, many of them were shocked and many of them were in disbelief. this is good, quality stuff.
4:37 pm
the one that you showed of obama took like a week or more and a lot of supercomputer space and time to do. these videos, we are popping them out for training in a matter of a couple of minutes each, and they are only using me talking into a training ai for about 30 seconds and then they can do whatever they want. these are the tools that the bad guys have and if we don't train and figure out how to deal with these things now, we are going to get caught on our heels. >> there is an important component to this which is you are training election workers to spot it and be prepared for it. how do you train the public for it, if somebody sees a clip of you saying hey, the polling stations in arizona have been shut down due to unforeseen circumstances and they don't go to the polls thinking they've seen a video of you telling them it's closed, how do you
4:38 pm
prepare the citizens for this type of technology? >> let me be direct here. my legislature here in arizona has decided they are not going to fund the public education funds that i will, they will not help to ensure that arizona voters have this, their budget priorities are elsewhere, moreover, we have been prevented from getting by law, from getting help from outside sources, which have always been helpful in educating arizona voters so how am i going to educate arizona voters? we will get on shows like yours and try and get as much earned media as we can because apparently the leadership in the state legislature in arizona and many other places, they just don't want the public to know and they want to make sure that the public remains ignorant regarding some of the ways we can train them up and keep them informed and that's just too bad. so i wish that the legislature in arizona and are budgeting leadership would get on the right side of things, give us the resources we need to help
4:39 pm
our voters understand and i would echo this on the federal level, we need sustained federal funding to educate voters that this is part of critical infrastructure, and the only part of american infrastructure that is not sustainably funded and it's a shame that we still have folks out there who are trying to suppress the vote by choking off the officials who are just trying to help folks understand how to do their jobs better. >> it's a scary thought, i've got to admit. hopefully we will get through without any problems, adrian fontes, thanks as always. thank you for making time for us. i'll speak with two american doctors trapped inside so, if you're off the racking... ...or crab cracking, you're cashbacking. gaza.ck switch ng suite- or book a silent retreat. silent retreat?

as we celebrate mother's day, i want to show you a photo, a palestinian woman sitting by her sons hospital bed in northern gaza. moments before it was taken, he had died of complications from malnutrition. this woman, this mother, experienced what no parent should ever have to live through. the death of her child. the photo was taken by an american surgeon who shared it with nick kristof of the times and he writes as we discussed gaza, let's keep in mind that the war unfold through lives like the boy the picture, a child is reportedly killed every 10 minutes in the gaza strip. another un report estimates that 9000 women have died since october 7th, and that number includes an estimated 37 mothers, killed by israeli forces every day. doctors on the front lines have witnessed these horrors, and many of them, americans, who at least right now, can't come home. last week the israeli military seized the gaza side of the rafah crossing shutting down the main humanitarian route in and out of the strip.
4:44 pm
joining me now, two doctors working at the european hospital who are now trapped inside gaza, a critical care physician from california and a former u.s. army combat surgeon and current plastic surgeon from new jersey. it's great to have both of you with us. i'm sorry it's under these conditions. he recently told the washington post that you walk into an emergency room, saw an infant girl who passed away after suffering severe trauma from a strike and you then said the mama sitting behind her, screaming that she wished it was her, not a baby, just described for us some of the conditions and stories that you are seeing firsthand as a doctor working in gaza? >> sure, i mean, they are horrific stories, you know, you have 30,000 people sheltering here at european hospitals, so the hospital itself is
4:45 pm
functioning as a shelter, and a medical center, so as soon as you step foot inside the hospital, it's complete chaos. there are people everywhere, families in every single inch, babies run in in and out of thin sheets, one woman cooking, patients are crying, there's doctors running in and out of the hospital with patients, so it does not resemble anything i've seen before as a physician and it's a chaotic scene. the icu is no different. the icu, there are monitors that are continuously beeping, the healthcare staff are completely exhausted, the nurses are overworked, there's 1 to 7 icu patients which is not normal for an icu room, medications are running out, there's wounds that have flies on them and it's just absolutely chaos, so, it's been unacceptable to see this. the children are basically
4:46 pm
paying the brunt of this, a lot of pediatric patients are in our icu dying every single hour, because of the lack of care, the lack of resources. and so, it's been hard for us. >> dr., a similar question to you, you've had the chance to see combat in iraq and operate in iraq, it's something that probably none of us have experienced, how is what you are seeing now compared to other war zones that you've lived through? >> you know, i've seen combat and war wounds and i have done surgery with humanitarian relief for almost 20 years, and this is nothing like that. you know, the injuries, the amount of children that i've seen is just, you know, unprecedented. i take care of more people
4:47 pm
under the age of 13 that i've ever taken care of before. i've done more amputations and see more traumatic amputation's of children that i've seen during my entire career in the last two weeks. and that is what is making a difference, you know, in iraq, there's some civilian casualties, here, it's like primarily just, children, women, elderly, i mean, today i took care of four children, one woman, and like two people over the age of like 60. and this is not like typical of you know, the wars that i have experienced in the past. so this is like, you know, really the main like, you know, this is like, this is not like a war, this is like a complete
4:48 pm
and utter destruction, there's nothing left. i was actually able to venture out of the hospital, and there's nothing left of the area around us. it is flattened, completely flattened. >> is it an active war zone, the patients that you are seeing, what are they mostly consisting of right now in terms of the traumas and injuries they are suffering? >> so we are seeing a lot of burn victims, especially children, those have been the hardest images to let go, 80% body burns which already have a high mortality, if they are treated in a good burn center in the united states so here, basically, those children are guaranteed to pass, to die, due to the lack of resources and lack of care, so we are seeing a lot of burns, a lot of head traumas, a lot of shrapnel wound, there's definitely showing that is occurring, today was a light today compared to yesterday but we are hearing it now in the evening, it is starting up again, so, there is active shelling and you are seeing a variety of shrapnel and
4:49 pm
horrific wounds, which are likely on survival, the mortality in the icu, i would say it's 70 to 80%. very few success stories. >> i wanted to ask you, your both american citizens, you're now both trapped inside of gaza, i understand perhaps you were preparing to leave in the coming days but, what message do you have to the american government, to those that may be watching here in the united states about the conditions in which you are trapped in gaza and the need to get out. are you getting any assistance from the american government?
4:50 pm
>> we've reached out to our representatives. i know people at home are trying to work on getting us out, you know, we came here to do a job and while we are here we will continue to do that. for us, it's an inconvenience, we do want to go home but you know, the people here don't have that option, and while we really appreciate the attention on us, it would be great if, you know, if we got a true cease-fire, and we were able to leave and we got other people and other humanitarian aid workers to come in here, to replace us. what we don't want to do is leave here and have no one to replace us and no one to help them and you know, in the past like right now, we are worried about what is going to happen to this hospital after we leave, some of these healthcare workers fled where there was you know, massacres that happened there after we left. we are worried about the people, once we leave, what's going to happen to them. >> we thank you so much for what we are doing -- what you
4:51 pm

4:54 pm
children. more from ralph sanchez, and we want to warn you, these images are hard to see. >> if the grounds of the hospital can speak they would tell a story of horror, body after body, emerging from the earth, discovered in three mass graves at one of gaza's largest hospitals. the civil defense, the emergency rescue services they found 392 bodies in total including 78 children. many of them so badly decomposed, they are no longer identifiable. she's been searching for somebody for more than two months, undeterred by the smell of death, she checks every corpse she can find. i'm searching the martyrs faces for my son features, she says. israel's military conducted a 10 day raid on nasser hospital
4:55 pm
and fabric, the idf said at the time it was carrying out a precise and limited operation searching for the bodies of hostages kidnapped by hamas on october seventh. but the rate also plunged the hospital into chaos, leaving it barely functioning. civil defense authorities opened the mass graves after israeli forces withdrew from the hospital and the wider city, inside they found the bodies of medical staff, still wearing their scrubs. and patients, with cannulas for iv lines sticking out of cold hands. according to the civil defense, at least 10 bodies were found with gunshot wounds and their hands tied. evidence they say, of palestinians executed by israeli forces. nbc news has reviewed photographs of the bodies but they are too graphic to show here. the idf denies carrying out
4:56 pm
executions and says that while it dug up existing graves looking for hostages, it did not dig new one, nor barry bodies inside the hospital. any attempt to blame israel for burying civilians in mass graves is categorically false and a mere example of a disinformation campaign aimed at delegitimizing israel the idf said. nbc news used footage from our own archive and satellite imagery to establish that two of the graves were dug by palestinians in january, before the idf raid. people said they had no choice but to bury the dead inside the hospital because is really snipers were shooting in the streets, making it too dangerous to reach the cemetery. we can't say for certain who dug the third grade or when. but palestinians say it was done by the idf during the february siege, a claim that israel denies. the white house, calling for an investigation. >> we've been in touch at multiple levels with the israeli government.

>> mohammed is in a grim sense, one of the lucky ones. after two weeks of digging, he has found the body of his brother. how could i not know him, he's my brother, from my flesh and blood, he says. nothing he can do now except prepare a clean shroud before the rest of the family arrives. first, their sister, and then their mother. relatives plead with her, not to look but she wants to touch her sons face one last time. then he is carried out of nasser hospital, through the streets that were so recently battlefields to the families cemetery. a few sprays of perfume to fight the smell and then, a simple grave of his own. isn't it enough we are already displaced all over the earth inside palestine and outside palestine, his father asks, even in the tomb we will be displaced, no, he says, no. a new hour of ayman after a quick break. break.
