reports," democracy is never guaranteed. a powerful message from president biden this morning marking 80 years since allied forces stormed the beaches of normandy and warning of the threat against the west today. plus, breaking news here at home this morning, with decisions expected in just minutes from the supreme court as justices near the end of a very busy term. also ahead, a dramatic new twist today in the gilgo beach serial killer case, the new charges the suspect now faces. and later, extreme weather, a rare tornado outbreak in maryland leaving a 50-mile trail of destruction. good morning, it is 10:00 eastern, i'm ana cabrera reporting from new york, and we begin this morning with president biden gathering with world leaders in france marking 80 years since d-day when allied forces stormed the beaches of normandy, the turning point of

world war ii. the president delivering a powerful message acknowledging that moment in history and warning of threats to freedom today as russia wages war in europe. >> freedom is worth it. democracy is worth it. america's worth it. the world is worth it. then, now, and always. >> joining us now from paris, nbc news senior white house correspondent kelly o'donnell. kelly, bring us more of the president's message today linking world war ii to russia's war against ukraine. >> reporter: on the surface, ana, it would be easy to see this as a ceremony that honors history, but president biden and some of the other leaders we expect are also tieing it to what's happening right now and making what was learned by the sacrifice of veterans, some of whom were there today 80 years ago is relevant now because of

what ukraine is experiencing with the invasion of russia and more than two years of war, so the president talked about how isolationism back during world war ii was not the right approach, and he argues that that is not the right approach today. so the president honored the service of veterans. so did president macron of france, and also, there is the really moving tributes and ceremony of a day like this. but president biden was also clear to point out and europeans know it well, that the risk to solid borders and sovereignty and democracy is on the line with a war like we've seen with russia invading ukraine. here's part of what the president had to say on that. >> here in europe we see one stark example, ukraine has been invaded by a tyrant bent on domination. ukrainians are fighting with extraordinary courage, suffering great losses but never backing

down. [ applause ] >> reporter: and of course russia was a part of the alliance, the allies of world war ii but not invited today because of the invasion of ukraine and the conduct of that war and vladimir putin's leadership. so that's a piece of history that is not being celebrated, their contributions back in world war ii because of what's happening now. certainly the president had some very personal moments as well seeing some of the veterans who have traveled a long distance, a shrinking number of those world war ii veterans who are well enough, able enough to travel this far to be a part of the ceremonies. we saw how the french president bestowed on a number of them the highest honor france offers. president biden and each american veteran gave them a challenge, spent a few minutes speaking with them, photos and so forth, a personal connection

as these ceremonies to mark all the different chapters of what happened at normandy and how consequential, there's now an international service that's taking place and the president will continue with a state visit to france with emmanuel macron bestowing that highest diplomatic honor on president biden for this visit. ana. >> and kelly, we did see president zelenskyy of ukraine in some of the images this morning, the president expected to meet with zelenskyy on the sidelines while he's there. what do we expect from that meeting? >> reporter: chances are they will see each other at some of the ceremonies today. white house officials say the formal meeting is set for tomorrow. part of that really speaks to all of these issues that the president has been outlining, president biden has felt very strongly that he and the european leaders have been very much in lock step trying to provide the resources for

ukraine. there are some tensions over the speed with which that has happened over these two years, and there have been ongoing battles with the u.s. congress, of course, about funding that. so we expect that the meeting tomorrow will deal with the next phase. the president recently granted ukraine permission to use american-supplied weapons to strike targets that are inside russia but not all the way to the kremlin, not to moscow, but to try to prevent attacks that are staged from russia into ukraine. so there are a lot of very current issues with supplies, resources, and support that will undoubtedly be a part of their conversation here in france. ana. >> kelly o'donnell, thank you very much for your coverage. i want to bring in "new york times" diplomatic correspondent michael crowley and presidential historian douglas brinkley. it's good to have you both here with us. michael, we know at least 25 heads of state are in attendance for these events today including ukrainian president volodymyr

zelenskyy. relations with the u.s. and ukraine are at a delicate point. president biden dealing with divisions among the western alliance, particularly over the war in gaza. talk to us about the significance of today from a diplomacy standpoint. >> yeah, that's right, and by the way, this underscores that for a president who is headed into a re-election, the degree to which foreign policy has come to dominate his presidency. you know, when he came into office, he had a set of huge domestic issues obviously starting with getting america to recover from the coronavirus and getting the american economy back on track, and now you see how much of his time is consumed with these foreign policy crises. i guess they've been going on for so long now we can't even call them crises. the diplomacy will be very important to shore up allies for ukraine. of course there's a lot of uncertainty because of that election as to what the fate of ukraine might be, the fate of western support because of the possibility that donald trump will be coming to office, and

then trying to hold some kind of a consensus together on israel and gaza and how to solve that problem. that's a really tricky on i think a lot is going to depend in the coming days on how president biden's appeal for a new hostage deal and cease fire plays out. and he will be trying to get opinions on that subject and try to hold nations together behind the u.s. position on that. >> doug, there's reporting from "politico" that president biden is really looking to reagan as he prepares to deliver another major speech in france tomorrow with aides conceding that they had studied the reagan trip closely and they're continuing to capture the attention of a distracted disillusioned public and remind them of what's at stake. how can the president best channel reagan at this moment? >> i'm here in southern california.

we're doing a d-day event at the reagan library. ronald reagan on june 6th, 1984, had a dramatic trip to the cliffs of normandy, specifically pointe du hoc, and he gave this remarkable speech talking about in world war ii the liberation of western europe, the need to proceed further in eastern europe, but mainly about the valor of the men who died on utah, normandy and the rest, and also a moment reagan really talked about allied toughness and strength, canada, great britain and france. you're seeing reagan echoing with joe biden. he wants this to be a kind of moment that people say, you know, biden had a good trip there. people that care about world war ii, care about our veterans may start leaning forward and reimagining biden as a second term president, showing off his

statesman credentials. this helps u.s./french relations. it's almost become an annual event of some kind to remind ourselves of that great long friendship we had. really what we're all looking at is can there be some breakthrough on ukraine right now, what about the middle east, what about indo-pacific technology, what about climate change. it becomes a summit, first it's world war ii memorial, then becomes a summit of great magnitude for president biden who really is liked by our nato allies, has expanded nato to include new countries. but alas, there's a feeling of dread and doom in europe due to the wars. >> that's right. and president biden himself was alive when allied forces fought against hitler. now he's leading this coalition of western and european nations against the aggression of russia. i can't help but just wonder, are we seeing history repeat

itself, doug? what's your perspective? >> well, i don't know if it's quite repeating itself, but it's looking at how some similar atmospherics at the very least. it's usually a moment, you know, in past commemorations russia would often be there at utah and omaha, russia lost millions in world war ii and were part of this commemoration, and now of course they're not allowing putin there, nor should they, because he is acting in an egregious dictatorial fashion. if i were looking for one big takeaway, i mean, when reagan went it was about continuing to win the cold war, pope john paul ii, maggie thatcher, chancellor cole, there was this notion of a generation of democracy on the march in europe.

it's about pop list strong arm right wing authoritarianism lurching forward, and so it is a new threat. it is a new kind of authoritarian threat, and you have to be careful when you echo world war ii with hitler, you'll see biden being very cautious about that, but he's not cautious about saying we have to learn to treasure what a democracy is and fight for it and in that way he's taking a page out of fdr's famous prayer to the nation at the original june 6th, 1944. >> we're looking at images for another ceremony that's about to get underway. this is the international ceremony hosted by president macron, expected to be in french. president biden not expected to speak. there will be a lot of pomp and circumstance. you can see all these other world leaders and representatives from countries. prince william is there among them, zelenskyy, the president of ukraine. there will be nato ships off the coast, flyovers of world war ii era aircraft, presentation of

the medal of legion. so that's what we are looking at as we continue this discussion, and michael, as doug mentioned, president putin of russia is not in attendance, even though in the past russian leaders have been there. yesterday putin said this about the recent conviction of former president trump. the u.s. is, quote, burning themselves from the inside. their state, their political system, and that the conviction is simply using the judicial system in an internal political struggle. we know russia has tried to interfere with the u.s. before, spreading misinformation. what do you make of putin's comments there, and just how closely is russia watching the u.s. election? >> oh, extremely closely, extremely closely, and you know, i think that there's real concern that there could be significant russian efforts to influence the election, and you know, this is what putin does.

he's pretty careful not to come out and say i want donald trump to win. i prefer donald trump. in fact, i think at one point recently he claimed that he preferred biden because he said that biden was a known quantity. i don't think people really believe that, but what he does do and what the russians are very good at is sort of undermining the american system writ large, so you see an example there of him suggesting that our democratic system in society, you know, is rotten. it doesn't work. we often hold up democracy and the system that we put together as a proper and noble alternative to the sort of authoritarian system that he supports and what putin will do and the chinese do this and other countries do this is say that, you know, the americans are deluded. their system is just as rotten as ours. they just pretend that it's better, pretend that it's more pure, but it's not. so that's very consistent, and

you know, by the way, just on a historical note, although i'm not the historian on this show, you know, the russians -- world war ii is a very, very important part of russian identity, and russians believe essentially that, you know, they were the victors in world war ii, that they did the bulk of the fighting against the nazis, that they suffered the blow of a nazi invasion. and although they didn't participate in d-day, i'm sure it's frustrating for putin to be watching from afar as the western countries celebrate an event like this and present themselves as the saviors of the world from naziism because another extremely common theme in russian sort of propaganda and rhetoric is this idea that russia saved the world from fascism, and they continue to be obsessed with fascism. you see putin falsely claiming that the ukrainians are essentially reviving naziism and

fascism. there's sort of an interesting historical dynamic there as well. >> as we look at these images, we see some of the veterans who are part of the ceremony coming in and the standing ovation, round of applause for them and just a really beautiful moment here to honor their service and sacrifice. so you know, president biden goes there. he's meeting with so many world leaders about this somber day, and he's reassuring these leaders about america and its place in the world order and it's got its allies back. in a recent interview with time magazine, biden recounts a story of him speaking with a group of world leaders at the g-7 previously saying, well, america's back. macron looked at me, and he said for how long? for how long. and then he goes on to say there's not a major international meeting i attend that before it's over a world leader doesn't pull me aside as i'm leaving and say he, trump

can't win. you can't let him in. michael, talk to us about the trump element sort of looming in these international relations. >> yeah, absolutely. look, i think, you know, i see it myself when i talk to foreign diplomats and people in other concerns. there's almost an expectation that trump is going to win. i think it's a kind of, you know, it's almost a defense mechanism against the 2016 election for those people who were very upset that trump did win. they're now, you know, there was an expectation widely that hillary clinton would win, andic people now are not wanting to get let down or hurt or shocked again. they're resigning themselves to a trump victory, those people who think it would be a cataclysm. there are many of those people in other countries. and i also think that this is already beginning to complicate

president biden's foreign policy. i think that other countries are hedging their bets as they negotiate with the united states. they're thinking how much longer is this president going to be in office. what comes after him? should i be, you know, preparing for other scenarios where there's a very different president? it's well-known that trump advisers have been meeting with foreign officials who are looking to get a sense of what's going on in his campaign, whatst going on in his head. so you know, foreign policy is complicated enough when you're a president trying to manage the world. there's sort of a three dimensional or four dimensional chess when you have to figure whether other countries someone might be coming along to succeed you. think about what israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu might be thinking. president trump was very permissive, although they did

have friction in their relationship at times, president trump was very permissive about allowing netanyahu to take aggressive steps toward the palestinians, toward territory that israel is occupying, and he may be thinking that he'll have more of a free rein under a president donald trump, and does that affect his calculus and the way he approaches gaza right now as president biden tries to -and-a-half navigate this problem. >> there's so much uncertainty in the world right now and the u.s. election this year is a pivotal point perhaps. we'll keep an eye on the ceremony. we'll bring any major developments from it. michael crowley and douglas brinkley, thank you so much. breaking news back here at home, the supreme court releasing decisions this hour with some major cases still undecided as the end of the term is fast approaching this month.

ryan reilly joins us now from the supreme court. what have we heard from the court this morning as they release decisions, and what cases are we still waiting on? >> reporter: we got three decisions, but none of them were the big ones we're looking for, which both have to do essentially with donald trump. one of them would impact all of the cases that jack smith has brought against the former president, including the one in florida and the one here in d.c. that had to do with his efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 election and stop the transfer of power in the lead up to january 6th. the other one has to do with a charge that has been used against hundreds of january 6th defendants as well as donald trump himself. it would have to do with two of the charges, of the four charges donald trump is facing here in d.c., and it's the obstruction of an official proceeding charge. and that has been used against hundreds of january 6th defendants, would also impact trump, and the question that sort of bubbled up from the district court here in washington ultimately up to the supreme court is whether it was properly applied to january 6th defendants and whether or not

the certification of the electoral college was an official proceeding under the law. because the law was originally sort of created in the wake of the enron crisis, and there's been a lot of litigation back and forth about whether or not this would apply to what happened here across the street from me at the capitol on january 6th, ana. >> ryan reilly, again, we will be covering these supreme court decisions in realtime as they happen. thanks for that update, ryan reilly. still ahead, breaking news and a dramatic development in the gilgo beach serial killer case, the new murder charges against the suspect. we're also following extreme weather, rare tornado outbreak in the east hitting the d.c. suburbs as millions of americans cook in the sweltering heat. also ahead, what an appeals court ruling means for one of donald trump's other legal cases. we're back in 90 seconds. ses. we're back in 90 seconds anthony: this making you uncomfortable? good. when you've got type 2 diabetes like me, you have up to 4 times greater risk of stroke, heart attack or worse

death. even when meeting your a1c goal. discomfort can help you act. i'm not trying to scare you. i'm empowering you... to get real with your health care provider. talk to them about lowering your risk of stroke, heart attack or death. (aaron) i own a lot of businesses... so i wear a lot of hats. my restaurants, my tattoo shop... and i also have a non-profit. but no matter what business i'm in... my network and my tech need to keep up. thank you verizon business. (kevin) now our businesses get fast and reliable internet from the same network that powers our phones. (waitress) all with the security features we need. (aaron) because my businesses are my life. man, the fish tacos are blowing up! so whatever's next... we're cooking with fire. let's make it happen! (vo) switch to the partner businesses rely on. nothing dims my light like a migraine. with nurtec odt, i found relief. the only migraine medication that helps treat and prevent, all in one. to those with migraine, i see you.

for the acute treatment of migraine with or without aura and the preventive treatment of episodic migraine in adults. don't take if allergic to nurtec odt. allergic reactions can occur, even days after using. most common side effects were nausea, indigestion, and stomach pain. it's time we all shine. talk to a healthcare provider about nurtec odt from pfizer. we're back with breaking news this morning in the gilgo beach serial killer case. the suspect, new york architect rex heuermann in court this morning where he just pleaded not guilty to new second degree murder charges, meaning he is now accused of murdering a total of six women. these new charges for the murders of jessica taylor in 2003 and sandra costilla in 1993. heuermann was first arrested in july of last year charged with murdering four women whose remains were found in burlap sacks on gilgo beach. the 60-year-old father of two has repeatedly claimed

innocence. nbc's antonia hylton is joining us from outside the courthouse in river head, new york. what more do we know about these new charges and the victims? >> reporter: well, ana, this is pretty astounding in terms of development and new information this morning, so these two new charges investigators have brought forth with pretty shocking new developments. that includes not just dna evidence that link rex heuermann to these two additional victims but also the discovery of a planning document, a document that they uncovered in which it appears that the suspect had basically four different columns in which he planned out the problems he might encounter in his murders, supplies that he might need in order to carry out these murders as well as looking at target victims, and this is new, completely new information and pretty substantial here in terms of tying him to these six

existing accusations, but also potentially, you know, many more to come here. the majority of the slayings here still haven't been solved actually. this is, as you mentioned before, these cases go back as far as 1993, remains discovered in the early 2000s and in 2010 and in 2011, and so the anxiety here, the questions around this case have existed for an incredibly long amount of time here, and now it appears that this is a major breakthrough, very concretely tieing him -- although, heuermann has insisted all throughout this that he is innocent, ana. >> antonia hylton, wow, what an update, thank you. now to extreme weather bringing dangerous conditions from coast to coast, areas in the midwest and the d.c. suburbs are recovering from tornados that ripped through communities overnight while millions from california to texas are once again baking in a record breaking heat wave. nbc's gadi schwartz is in

gaithersburg, maryland, where one of those tornados touched down last night. >> reporter: this is the type of damage you expect to see in the flat lands of oklahoma or possibly kansas. this is the d.c. suburbs. this is the type of destruction we're seeing. you've got this root system the size of a minivan that has been pulled out and the tree, this oak tree if you follow me this way, this oak try toppled on top of this house. there were five people that were inside of this home that had to be extracted by fire crews. one person was pinned under the tree. we are told that person's now in stable condition. overnight terrifying tornados tearing through parts of the midwest and east coast. >> funnel clouds spotted in the area. >> reporter: in the d.c. suburbs which rarely sees twisters, at least 12 reported. >> that is a tornado right there. look at the powerful -- the tornado's right here, okay? this tornado is right here.

>> reporter: leaving widespread damage in gaithersburg, maryland. officials there say several homes were damaged by trees and power lines snapped like twigs including this one where a family of five was trapped. >> everybody was injured, one person did suffer traumatic injury. >> debris blanketing the streets. >> we tried to make sure everybody in the neighborhood was okay. >> reporter: and more storms in the midwest turning deadly. a woman was critically near detroit and her 2-year-old child killed when a tree fell on the home. an ef-1 tornado was to blame as more severe storm systems sweep across the country, record setting triple digit temperatures are scorching americans out west. heat warnings are in effect for some 27 million people from texas to california with temperatures spiking 20 degrees above normal for this time of year in some areas. >> it's oppressive and even my 9-year-old granddaughter did not want to go out in the heat. >> reporter: with the official start of summer still two weeks away, some forecasters are

projecting excessive heat could be a sign of things to come. >> how am i going to survive august, if i can't even survive june. it's been horrible. >> a lot of people in this neighborhood do have basements. these people did not have a basement. they were inside of that living room, inside of this home when that tree toppled, but those that did have basements say when they got those alerts, they went down into their basements. one thing this community does not have tornado sirens because, again, this is maryland. tornados usually don't happen. back to you. >> thank you so much. up next here on "ana cabrera reports," the latest from hunter biden's trial after dramatic testimony from his ex-wife and former girlfriend. who just took the stand this hour. plus, after being convicted of a felony, will donald trump's gun license be revoked? the new fallout from his guilty verdict. revoked the new fallout from his guilty verdict. missing out on the things you love because of asthma? get back to better breathing with fasenra, an add-on treatment for eosinophilic asthma that is taken once every 8 weeks.

trial. prosecutors say they could wrap up their case today. the big witness now on the stand, halle biden, the widow of beau. she was in a relationship with hunter biden when he bought that gun and she actually threw it away. nbc news justice and intelligence correspondent ken dilanian is at the courthouse in delaware. ken, what have we heard so far from hallie biden and how significant could show be to the prosecutor's case? >> she is the most important witness in this case clearly because she can talk about hunter biden's drug use right at the time he purchased that firearm and during the time he owned it, and as you said, she was the one who took it and threw it in a dumpster, which led to the police being called, which led to this case actually happening, and the reason that's important is hunter biden's entire defense in this case seems to be that he didn't knowingly lie when he said on the form that he wasn't using or addicted to drugs when he bought that firearm. there isn't a lot of direct

evidence of drug purchases or drug use, at least in the documents that we've seen right at that time. hallie biden was there. she can testify about the drug use, and she is testifying. she just said a few moments ago in court that hunter biden introduced her to crack cocaine, that she was using it too, that she's embarrassed about that. she's actually testifying under a grant of immunity because she's talking about legal conduct that she also engaged in. and she's building on layers of testimony that we heard yesterday from hunter biden's ex-wife and his girlfriend, who also talked about his descent into drug addiction and that girlfriend he met at a strip club was talking about him using crack at times every 20 minutes. this was a severe addiction hunter biden had. the prosecution is trying to convince the jury that it's just not credible that he didn't know he was a user or an addict when he bought that firearm. >> keep us posted, ken dilanian, thank you. turning now to new legal developments in the trials of donald trump, his georgia election interference case is

now indefinitely on pause. a state appeals court has issued a stay in this case, until they make a decision on whether fulton county d.a. fani willis can stay on. let's discuss this and more with former chief spokesman for attorney general merrick garland and msnbc justice and legal affairs analyst anthony coley, and msnbc legal correspondent lisa rubin. hey, guys, thanks so much for coming in. the appeals court isn't even going to take up the question regarding fani willis until october, lisa. so is it surprising this is where we are in this case? >> it's not surprising that this is where we are given the motion that was made many months ago to disqualify fani willis. if you talk to people, ana, who are expert in georgia law, they will tell you that a criminal appeal of this nature in georgia usually proceeds along this time line and that it also usually disables the court from moving forward with any proceedings. the other thing that i want to point out, though, to you and our viewers is that the case is not paused against all of the

remaining defendants. it is paused against a majority of them, those people who joined in the motion to disqualify fani willis on the basis of her relationship with nathan wade and financially what they said she gained therefrom. there were a number of defendants who weren't part of that, and the case can proceed against them. those are folks who are not household names. they are people our viewers likely would not recognize, low level foot soldiers or even people who inserted themselves in the georgia drama. it is a lesson and an instructive one about the people who do these things for donald trump, the lowest level people are often the ones left holding the bag while trump himself and his high level deputies often able to delay or escape accountability entirely. >> delay has been the name of the game if you're donald trump, and if his case there in georgia is on hold now indefinitely, at least we have an answer, this is not even possibly not, but it's pretty definitely not, i think,

at this point going forward before the election so, anthony, does it perhaps open the door for one of his federal cases to still happen before then? at least there is not the timing conflict. >> i think we're hopefully going to get some clarity on that from the supreme court. certainly it didn't happen today. hopefully over the next three weeks or so, we're going to learn whether or not this federal election case will go forward. i want to -- if i could say one additional thing about this, this is a clear win for donald trump and not just because it's delayed but because this case would have been televised. people would have been able to hear donald trump's own voice urge the republican secretary of state to just find one more vote than was needed to declare joe biden -- donald trump the winner rather. in addition here, the witnesses here are so important here. you've got the governor, the lieutenant governor, these are all republican conservatives who

supported donald trump, who voted for donald trump, who wanted donald trump to win. they would have been the prosecution's star witness here, so it's a real shame that the -- this case won't make it to a jury of donald trump's peers in fulton county, georgia. >> the hush money verdict in new york, donald trump just had his gun license revoked following the conviction. is this typical and what other kind of fallout could trump see in addition to the sentencing? >> it's totally typical for someone to have their firearms license revoked. it's also typical for other consequences to happen following a conviction. sometimes you'll surrender your passport or lose your right to vote depending on what state you live in and whether or not you've been sentenced to jail. in new york state, you only lose your right to vote once you are sentenced to prison time and during the period of time that you are serving a prison sentence. florida, the place he now lives will honor new york's laws as to that. as of right now, donald trump will be able to cast a vote for himself. the other thing, the other

consequence, though, is donald trump's going to have to meet with a probation officer before his sentencing hearing. shoutout to the folks at "politico" who did a great interview to talk about what that interview is typically like and what role it plays in the sentencing process. because that person has an opportunity to call it to the judge's attention any extenuating factor, either those that mitigate for a lighter sentence or those that demand a harsher one. is this a person who is likely to comply with rules if you sentence them to probation. is this a person you can count on to abide by what that sentence is if they're not incarcerated. i think we all know the answer to those questions, but how that interview comes about and how it turns out will be fascinating to see on july 11th, ana. >> i do want to ask about another donald trump legal case, the classified documents case in florida. we have learned that the judge in this case, aileen cannon just had more than a thousand complaints filed against her in one week last month regarding

her handling of the case. could that impact her role moving forward? >> it should. she is somebody who appears to be intentionally dragging her feet on this case, and every time you turn around, she does not -- she does not engender confidence in how this case is proceeding. i've talked to many people, many lawyers including judges and former judges in florida. there's no reason that this case shouldn't have started by now. these pretrial motions should have been over by now. i'm going to tell you, intentionally dragging her feet and, you know, i'll be careful here because some people will say that anthony, that's not fair to her. that she's a newer judge. she's dealing with classified documents material. she's in a satellite facility up in the northern part of the county, and she's not able to be mentored by senior judges. and all of that may be true, but that does not negate her responsibility to follow the

rules of criminal procedure or acknowledge settled law, and i'll make one more point on this. in two weeks she is going to hold a two-day hearing on whether or not jack smith was appropriately appointed, but this issue has already been settled in the federal level, and she's going to have outside counsel come intentionally dragging her feet. she is doing -- appears to be doing donald trump's bidding and when people talk about -- when people talk about the two-tiered justice system and how the wealthy and the privileged seem to have it better, this is an example of that. >> got to leave it there, thank you both so much. it's nice to see you. in the next hour, a d.c. federal court will hear arguments over whether former trump aide steve bannon should report to prison immediately to start his four-month sentence for content of congress. last month prosecutors argued there was really no more significant legal issue to argue over in this case and bannon

should start serving his sentence. bannon's lawyers say he should remain free until all of their appeals are exhausted. next on "ana cabrera reports," why israel says it struck a gaza school as efforts intensify to reach a cease fire. plus, the new space race after boeing's high stakes star liner launch yesterday, it is spacex's turn today with its starship mega rocket. cket if advanced lung cancer has you searching for possibilities, discover a different first treatment. immunotherapies work with your immune system to attack cancer. but opdivo plus yervoy is the first combination of 2 immunotherapies for adults newly diagnosed with non-small cell lung cancer that has spread, tests positive for pd-l1, and does not have an abnormal egfr or alk gene. opdivo plus yervoy is not chemotherapy, it works differently. it helps your immune system fight cancer in 2 different ways. opdivo and yervoy can cause your immune system to harm healthy parts of your body during and after treatment. these problems can be severe and lead to death. see your doctor right away

welcome back. just moments ago, president biden arriving there for another ceremony in normandy, france, commemorating the 80th anniversary of d-day. now these are live images where you see the president standing there right next to the french president macron, along with the french first lady next to him and dr. jill biden also there at the ceremony among others who are standing by, just honoring the men and women who gave their

lives and those who are still alive today, who stormed that beach in normandy. several veterans will receive the legion of honor at this ceremony. france's highest distinction. right now you're looking at a video remembering and honoring some of those people. back here at home now, and again, those live pictures at that ceremony. we'll keep an eye on this and continue to touch on it at those moments where we want you to make sure you have a chance to see. and we're also following other international news this morning. the white house calling on israel and hamas to accept the cease fire and hostage release deal presented by president biden. in a joint statement, president biden saying it is time for the war to end. this deal is the necessary starting point. despite the renewed diplomatic pressure, the carnage continues on the ground.

overnight, an israeli strike hit a school compound in gaza killing dozens according to gazan authorities. let's go to raf sanchez in tel aviv, israel. what are you learning about this deadly strike? >> reporter: so ana, this strike took place in central gaza in the early hours this morning as displaced palestinian families were sleeping in a u.n. school where they were seeking shelter. the israeli military is saying between 20 and 30 hamas operatives were also hiding in classrooms inside that school, which is why they decided to take this strike with deadly consequences, and it really underscores the fierce sense of urgency that the white house feels right now about getting to a cease fire because every day that these negotiations drag on, that these draft proposals move back and forth between the two sides, we are seeing more and more bloodshed in gaza. overnight a deadly new israeli strike on a u.n. school compound in central gaza.

israel's military says it precisely targeted two areas where hamas operative who is took part in the october 7th terrorist attack were hiding, but u.n. schools have been a refuge for civilians seeking safety throughout the war, and this morning hospital authorities say the attack killed around 30 people, including women and children. she sits next to the body of her son. he was the youngest of my sons and my dearest, she says. the idf says it's delayed the bombing twice to avoid hitting innocents. adding a number of steps were taken to reduce the risk of harming uninvolved civilians during the strike. with the attack evoking memories of this strike last month on a catch for displaced people in rafah. at least 45 killed after israeli bombs aimed at hamas commanders sparked a firestorm. flames sweeping through tents made of wood and plastic as families slept. while the fighting rages in gaza, prime minister netanyahu

visiting the israeli border with lebanon warning israel is prepared to launch a, quote, very intense military offensive to stop attacks by iranian-backed hezbollah militants. meanwhile, new details emerging about the shooting attack at the u.s. embassy in beirut. the gunman wearing isis insignia who's now in custody. the lebanese army tells nbc news the syrian national was shot four times but is now in stable condition. now, israel's leading human rights group is saying that if hamas fighters were inside of that school, that would be illegal. it would be a violation of the rules of war, but it would not justify an israeli strike on a u.n. compound where so many civilians were sheltering. ana. >> raf sanchez, thank you for that reporting. this morning we are following liftoff for spacex. it is the next generation starship mega rocket launching just before 9:00 a.m. eastern. it is its fourth test flight today, and the rocket just

reached orbit and then splashed down in the indian ocean. that splashdown happening just moments ago, and spacex tweeting out splashdown confirmed. congratulations to the entire spacex team on an exciting fourth test flight. this launch coming just a day after boeing successfully launched its star liner into orbit with two nasa astronauts on board marking a very busy week in the new space race. up next here on "ana cabrera reports," the eyebrow raising comments from one trump surrogate about life for black families under jim crow. the trump veep stakes are heating up, what sources tell us about who's on donald trump's short list. because your basic things should be your best things. one purchased equals one donated. visit bombas.com and get 20% off your first order.

he's made controversial comments. here's the relevant portion of the remarks, which he shared on social media. >> during jim crow, the black family was together. during jim crow, more black people were not just conservative, but more black people voted conservatively, and then lyndon johnson, you go down the road and we are where we

are. hakeem jeffries quickly pounced on the remarks, delivers a scathing -- >> it's come to my attention that a so-called leader has made a factually inaccurate statement that black folks were better off during jim crow. that's an outlandish, outrageous and out-of-pocket observation. >> i never said that. they are lying. let's go to donna edwards, ar senior correspondent for "the hill" amy barnes. donna, your comments. >> the video that byron donald himself says very clearly what he said. we're not making it up and analyzing that the. the reality is that over 4,000 limplgings occurred in the jim

crow thougho south, thousands of families' homes burned, moved out of their communities, deprived of their civil. the ideas that the hiss, fathers, brothers, sons who were lynched, mostly men, were better off is factually and historically inaccurate as hakim jeffries as said. >> amy, despite comments from donald, despite the trump rhetoric, the polls show that president biden is gaining grounds with these voters. black voters in april found 71% prefer biden over trump. yes, that's an overwhelming majority, but down from the 87% he got according to the 2020 exit polls. how concerned should democrats

be? >> slightly concern. if they're slipping, as polls show right now, it's a problem for them. i think donald trump wins by subtraction. if briden can't get the voters out that he needs -- black women are very much in their camp, why -- but if he can't turn out black men, and democrats have had a problem with that since 2016, there will be a bigger problem for him coming up in the election in november. donald's one of the names mentioned in the trump veep stakes, but we have reporting that the top four prospects are burg many, mark i don't rubio, tim scotts and j.d. advance. here is what trump is talking about. >> as a surrogate for me, he's unbelievable.

he's been incredible. govern burgum has incredit. mark i don't rubio has been great. j.d. vance has been great. >> what is factoring into his decision. >> when i talk to trump sources, they say there's no front-runner. there are flavors of the week, if you will. he's still vetting a number of people. when you talk to people, they give you an idea of what -- and doug burgum keeps coming up. he won't steal the spotlight, which is big to trump. he's someone with some seniority, but he knows his place, and that is the biggest part going into this whole thing. >> congressman edwards, who are

you most concerned about? >> well, you know, i don't know that the biden campaign is either focused on that, that the biden folks know that he'll choose somebody who can count on, like mike pence, to just do his bidding. i think the campaign is prepared to run against the former president, the convicted felon, former president, and to make this a question about whether people are choosing for decency and integrity in government and the preservations of democracy, or whether they're choosing the other. i think it's going to be a strong campaign against donald trump for exactly those reasons. >> congresswoman, do you expect president biden to play up the convict angle on this month on the debate stage, perhaps?

can he make his conviction a transformation tiff issue in this campaign? >> look, i think it is true this will be an election on the margins, so there's a slim number of voters that both candidates will be competing for, and that does make a difference. some of the early polls shows that that makes a difference to a sliver of voters, but the reality is this campaign will be won by that sliver. i think it's important for the president to highlight that, but focus on the future. that's what the american people care about, their lives, their concerns. the selfish former president, who is more worried about his potentially serving jail time or a criminal conviction, is not the right course for the american people. i think the biden campaign will continue to point that out, but also focus on an agenda for the

future. >> former congresswoman donna edwards, and amy, thank you for which. it does it for us today. i'm reporting from, jo say diaz-balart picks up our coverage right now. diaz-balart picks up our coverage right now and restored using the power of dell ai. ♪ sure, i'm a paid actor, and this is not a real company, but there is no way to fake how upwork can help your business. search talent all over the world with over 10,000 skills you may not have in house. more than 30% of the fortune 500 use upwork because this is how we work now.
