♪ live from cnn world headquarters in atlanta, welcome to all of you watching us here in the united states, canada and around the world, i'm kim brunhuber. ahead on "cnn newsroom," a deal that could dramatically change israel's political future. opposition leaders agree to form a coalition government paving the way for benjamin netanyahu's exit. plus it's what much of the world has been waiting for, joe biden will announce his plan to
1:01 am
share america's vaccine supply. and the winningest coach in men's college basketball says he will soon end his legendary coaching career. ♪ all right. we begin with a last minute deal that could pave the way for a new era of israeli politics. with just 38 minutes before midnight deadline rival parties agreed on a unity government without benjamin netanyahu. the israeli parliament still needs to approve it and netanyahu is expected to try to scuttle the fragile coalition, but if it survives, his record setting 12-year run as prime minister would come to an end. well, that job would fall first to religious nationalist naftali bennett. after two years centrist gary lapid on the right would take
1:02 am
over. >> translator: mr. president, we will do together whatever is good for israel and we will see you at the swearing in ceremony. thank you very much. >> the potential government is a rubik's cube of eight political parties with little common ground and a razor thin margin in the knesset. an arab israeli party would be part of a coalition government. let's go live to jerusalem and elliott gotkine. obviously this isn't over yet but take us through the reaction and guide us through the next steps. >> reporter: well, the reactions on the left or in the center, if you like, on the anti-netanyahu reaction, kim, has been one of unbridled joy and celebration that this coalition government is one step closer to being formed and that prime minister benjamin netanyahu is one step closer to being out of office for the first time in 12 years. that said of course there are those who support netanyahu and those on the right who are d
1:03 am
distraught and really angry that what they see as other right wing parties are stabbing them in the back and going into government into parties that they dee ride as leftist. we heard from the spokesman for the likud party tweeting out this morning the left is celebrating, but this is a very sad day for the state of israel. saying that bennett, this is the leader of the right young party and shaked should be ashamed. this is unprecedented not just because of the mind-boggling breadth of this center that is left, center, right but also includes a party representing arab citizens of israel and the leader of that party spoke shortly after putting pen to paper to join this coalition in waiting, explaining why he had done it.
1:04 am
>> we reached a critical massive agreements on issues that will serve the interests of arab society and provide solutions to urgent problems arab society faces in various fields. >> reporter: as we know, netanyahu is down but he is not out just yet there. needs to be a vote of confidence in the knesset or parliament. the coalition is waiting, let's call it, did send a letter to the speaker demanding a vote on replacing him with another speaker who could speed up the convening of the knesset to vote on this new coalition. originally they had 61 signatures, that's all the members of the coalition, but then one member from naftali bennett's party revoked his signature which according to a spokesman of the knesset said we are in a gray area but it seems they do not have the votes to change the speaker which means that this will go on for the maximum amount of time, possibly we will get a vote on the
1:05 am
coalition around about june 14th, so in about 12 days' time. everyone will be on tender hooks between now and then from the center and left kind of hoping this government can go forward and from netanyahu's camp doing its level best to pick off people to try to undermine this coalition before it even comes into being. kim? >> elliott gotkine in jerusalem, thanks so much. joining me now from london, danielle libby the president of the u.s. middle east project and from tel aviv barack raviv a contributor for axios. thank you both for joining us. i want to start with a general caveat for our discussion so i don't have to keep repeating it. this isn't official, it's not a done deal yet so i want to acknowledge that off the top. this coalition, daniel, is it workable? i mean, one wonders how long it could possibly last. >> is that for me, kim? >> daniel, yes. yes, for you. >> well, it has to be sworn n
1:06 am
you have already mentioned that caveat and we have parked that caveat. what holds the coalition together, it's a hybrid coalition, eight parties as you've acknowledged is keeping netanyahu out of power. so in a bizarre way the longer netanyahu retains his leadership of the likud, and that is something that will have to be put to the test once he is out of the prime minister's office, the longer he retains that leadership the more that glue still exists to hold this hybrid coalition together. if netanyahu were to vacate that position, then the majority in the parliament, which is a right wing majority, which doesn't need the centrist, centrist-left parties, that majority is more likely to be realized and this coalition could fall apart. having said that, netanyahu will be a fierce leader of the opposition. this isn't donald trump who only potentially has another chance in four years. netanyahu will be there leading
1:07 am
the opposition, trying to bring down this government at every moment, playing in those cracks and fissures and tensions that exist in this coalition. so in many respects it will be either the failure or success of netanyahu. i don't think this will be a long lived government and you will see bennett, who is a man of the hard right, he is more extreme than netanyahu but less savvy and less politically experienced, he will have to learn very quickly on the job. >> well, interesting. so given all of that, then, barack, how would this coalition actually govern with so many big issues to tackle like passing a budget, or is this just, you know, as we might suspect, a short-term caretaker government that won't achieve much? >> well, kim, first, as you said at the beginning, i still don't see this coalition really being
1:08 am
sworn in. i'm very, very cautious about talking about what the government will do because it will be very hard for them to actually swear this government in. but let's say they did it. in the last two and a half years israel has been in a political crisis, i think the deepest political crisis since its founding. the country is basically in paralysis for the last two and a half years. you spoke about the budget. we don't have a budget for three years. can you imagine such a situation anywhere else in the world? so just passing a budget, okay, this will be the very basic thing will be sort of, you know, back to normalcy, okay? i will give you another example. many of the main government positions in this country are not occupied because netanyahu refused to appoint people in those positions because of political considerations, for example, the state prosecutor,
1:09 am
okay, because of netanyahu's legal proceeding and his trial, and there are many other examples for it. so basically if this government is formed and will basically just do the basic stuff that the government needs to do just to run the country on the day to day basis, this will already be a huge improvement to the total dysfunction this country went through in the last two and a half years. >> can i just follow up with you there. you seem very skeptical that this will get sworn in. why particularly are you so skeptical? >> because i think that 12 days are eternity in israeli politics, especially when you have netanyahu trying in every way to sabotage this government. we've seen that already this morning there's one member of
1:10 am
bennett's party that is actually thinking about defecting to the other side and voting against the government. this thing do derail everything. so i think that it will be very -- i'm not saying that it's impossible, okay? yesterday i spoke to becky anderson, i told her 30% chance. i think that it is still more or less that, 30%, 35% chance. so it's not nothing, but it will still be very hard to get through this period without netanyahu being able to get some defectors from the other side. >> interesting. daniel, i want to end with you there. so if it does come to fruition here, we would have an arab party involved in a coalition here, we saw that striking picture of mansour abbas signing the agreement. the conventional wisdom was that the recent violence between palestinians and israel meant that a coalition between arab
1:11 am
israeli party and jewish nationalist party was less likely. what changed here and what significance does this have? >> it is significant. after all these years of israel's existence, and this is staggering, never has a party representing the 20% of the citizens who are palestinian-arab citizens of israel, never such a party been part of a coalition. it breaks that taboo. that's significant for the future. of course the legitimacy of those parties, of that public, should never have been in question, unfortunately it is and they have faced structural discri discrimination, but -- and there is a significant but -- they will not take a ministerial position, they will be in the coalition but not in the cabinet. this is a party that actually broke away from the unified list representing that community in order to be more amenable to a
1:12 am
right wing coalition and given this government will not improve the situation of the palestinians writ large, those under occupation denied basic freedoms and rights by israel. it will be difficult to maintain them in government given everything we know about bennett and -- significant for the future but very delicate, skating on thin ice. >> all right. well, we will have to leave it there, as you said, still an eternity left in israeli politics so we will see if this does happen. thank you so much for your analysis, daniel levy and pa rack raviv, thank you so much for joining us. we appreciate it. help could soon be on the way for countries struggling to get covid vaccines. after months of deliberation president joe biden is expected
1:13 am
to soon announce how the u.s. will distribute 80 million excess covid vaccine doses worldwide. cnn's kaitlan collins has a closer look at how the administration is approaching the distribution process. >> reporter: well, president biden has now finalized his plan to send millions of coronavirus vaccine doses worldwide and that plan could be announced as soon as thursday, possibly friday, in the united states. and that comes on the heels of the secretary of state tony blinken in costa rica earlier saying that that plan had been finalized, they were preparing to distribute about 80 million doses of the vaccine worldwide. though, when those doses are going to be ready and where they are going still remains to be seen. what we do know is there has been this intensive months' long efforts behind the scenes where officials have deliberated over how they should handle this. those deliberations are gone on as you have seen allies push the u.s. on when they are going to distribute these vaccines given
1:14 am
that you've seen so many countries struggle to ramp up their vaccinations. what we're told has happened behind the scenes are two things, one a skupgs on whether the u.s. should decide on who is going the vaccines or if they should work in conjunction with covax the international vaccine effort to make those decisions, it's not clear where they have landed if they're doing one or the other or a combination of both but that remains to be seen when the announcement does happen. the other thing that the white house has been deliberating is the massive operational undertaking this this is going to be because of course the logistics here are enormous when it comes to coordinating this with other countries, having safety reviews before these doses actually go out, making sure the country has the public health infrastructure to actually conduct this. so all of that has factored into this announcement that we are expecting to get in the coming days about what this is going to look like. it's also going to be a long complicated process where we don't imagine they will just start with this right away with just these doses, this he do
1:15 am
plan to do more with other doses in the future. what those doses are remains to be seen, though, because we know those astrazeneca doses the 60 million that president biden has pledged to get out by july 4th have not finished that safety review check yet. so those are not expected to be distributed in the near future. kaitlan collins, cnn, the white house. president biden has declared june a national month of action with hopes of getting at least one covid shot into the arms of 70% of adults by june 4th. he announced a variety of new incentives to encourage vaccinations while emphasizing that getting a vaccine isn't a political move. >> getting the vaccine is not a partisan act. the science was done under democratic and republican administrations. as a matter of fact, the first vaccines were authorized under a republican president and widely developed by a democratic president, deployed by a democratic president.
1:16 am
>> vaccination rates have been declining nationwide. that number took another hit this past week with doses given at less than a third of the pace as the peak period in mid-april, but the cdc says an average of 615,000 people became fully vaccinated each day last week. still just over half of americans have received at least one vaccine dose. dr. anthony fauci says the president's july 4th goal is realistic if people don't get complacent. all right. to the eu now where seven countries are issuing covid-19 certificates for travel within the bloc. the european commission says bulgaria, the czech republic, germany, greece and poland are the ones handing out the digital certificates. the system will be fully enforced for all member states from july 1st. the commission also says international visitors including those from the u.s. will have to get approved by the country they are trying to get to. the covid crisis in brazil is getting worse and the country
1:17 am
could soon face a potential third wave of the virus. more than 95,000 new infections were reported wednesday, the country's second highest daily case count since the pandemic began. you hear them there, protests erupted wednesday during president jair bolsonaro's national address. brazilians fed up with his handling of the pandemic. despite the recent surge bolsonaro has continued to reject social distancing measures and is insisting on hosting the upcoming copa america soccer tournament. the president of tokyo's olympic organizing committee says it's impossible to postpone the games again. he says the monumental task of moving the games isn't something that can be easily repeated. former olympics forecaster bob costas tells cnn he doesn't expect the games to be postponed even though he thinks they
1:18 am
should be. listen to this. >> i think the best course of action would be to postpone it, not cancel it, postpone it to 2022, but that may have led some people to infer that i think that's a possibility. it's not. the ioc holds the hammer here. >> now, this comes as thousands of volunteers have quit ahead of the olympics. officials say a total of around 10,000 volunteers have withdrawn but they don't expect their exit to affect the games. blake essig joins me with more from tokyo. blake, defiance amidst defections. what's the latest? >> reporter: kim, olympic officials say that the volunteers have been quitting for months and it started back in february, around the time that former tokyo 2020 president mori resigned after making sexist comments about women, but according to a volunteer i spoke with it's the health and safety concerns that are primarily the reason behind volunteers dropping out. while losing 10,000 volunteers
1:19 am
is significant, japanese government officials maintain that because of the covid-19 countermeasures already put in place which include banning foreign spectators from attending, that the loss of these 10,000 volunteers won't impact the games. take a listen. >> translator: the tokyo 2020 ceo said that around 10,000 out of the roughly 80,000 olympic volunteers declined to take part in the games, but since the games have been simplified and there are volunteers who can register both for the olympics and the paralympics, there will be no particular problem in operating the games. >> reporter: volunteers aren't the only olympic participants dropping out. some doctors scheduled to be in charge of medical services at competition venues are also withdrawing. these doctors were to be tasked with the supervision of medical staff treating both athletes and spectators. with 50 days to go before the games are set to begin olympic organizers are currently in the
1:20 am
process of finding replacements. despite scrambling to fill the empty slots, tokyo to 20 president hashimoto told a sports newspaper just yesterday that it's impossible to postpone the games again. although the olympics seem to be moving ahead, health and safety remains a big concern of the japanese public and medical professionals, kim. >> thanks so much. blake essig in tokyo. just ahead, the big lie is somehow getting bigger with republicans doing so-called audits of an election that's been over for months. donald trump reportedly believes he could be reinstated as president. stay with us. the light. ♪ it comes from within. it drives you. and it guides you. to shine your brightest. ♪ as you charge ahead. illuminating the way forward. a light maker. recognizing that the impact you make comes from the energy you create.

the meat processing company hit with a ransomware attack says all of its u.s. facilities will be back up and running today but there is no word on whether jbs paid a ransom. the cyber breach is the latest by a criminal organization believed to be based in russia and the white house says president biden will bring up the attacks when he meets with the russian president later this month. >> this will certainly be a topic of discussion that harboring criminal entities that
1:25 am
are intending to do harm, that are doing harm to the critical infrastructure in the united states is not acceptable. we're not going to stand by that. we will raise that. and we are not going to take options off the table. the 2020 presidential election is long over, of course, but many of donald trump's die hard supporters still refuse to accept that he lost. president biden has denounced republican-led efforts in a number of states to make voting more difficult calling it an assault on democracy. now the u.s. supreme court with a 6-3 conservative majority is prepared to take up another challenge to the landmark voting rights act that could potentially further limit voter access to the polls. the "washington post" reports that trump has become obsessed with republican efforts to undermine last year's election and touting trump's big lie that the election was stolen has turned into a litmus test for any republican seeking his endorsement. a cnn poll conducted in late
1:26 am
april found that 70% of republicans say they still don't believe joe biden won the election. and according to "the new york times" reporter may goy haberman donald trump himself bleens he will be reinstated in august. the so-called audit of ballots in arizona is unlikely to change anything, yet some republican lawmakers around the country want to do the same thing in their own states. cnn's kyung lah has our report. >> reporter: why are we running across the arizona state legislature grounds? >> senator? >> reporter: i'm trying to talk to these pennsylvania state lawmakers who avoided us and local reporters all day. this is why they're in phoenix, three republican pennsylvania lawmakers are touring the so-called audit of maricopa county's 2020 election. a partisan effort led by the republican controlled arizona senate. why would those pennsylvanians care about what's happening in arizona? one of the nonpartisan observers
1:27 am
for arizona's secretary of state believes it's to spread the big lie. >> they are probably going to be the entities that are behind a push to continue to sow doubt in pennsylvania and to continue to fund raise around this event. >> reporter: the most prominent of the pennsylvania lawmakers, republican state senator doug mustriano walking here on the floor and pictured here at the u.s. capitol on january 6th with former pennsylvania state representative rick cicone. he reportedly helped organize a bus tour for donald trump supporters to travel from pennsylvania to washington to attend trump's rally protesting the election results. as rioters stormed the capitol he says he had already left the grounds, saying in a statement that he was not involved in any violence and peacefully followed capitol police orders to not cross any police lines. >> this is no game for us. >> reporter: but he has been supportive of bogus election
1:28 am
fraud claims. here he is just weeks after the november election. with then trump lawyer rudy giuliani who joined lawmakers in pennsylvania. he spoke at that state senate election hearing that amplified baseless conspiracies of election fraud. >> we are here today to try to find out what the heck happened in the election. >> reporter: what happened? joe biden won pennsylvania by more than 80,000 votes. there was no widespread fraud found in pennsylvania and nearly all of trump's lawsuits failed in the state. >> what is happening at the coliseum is not an audit, it is not transparent, it does not conform with election laws, it does not conform with elections process and it is not conducted by elections officials. >> reporter: for weeks an an expert in election technology has opinion monitoring this exercise. about half of the nearly 2.1 million ballots cast in 2020 have been spun, examined and
1:29 am
photographed by a little known company called cyber ninjas. despite two audits conducted by the county showing no widespread election fraud. >> the more people that see that they can benefit from this, the more likely that this is going to continue to grab a stronghold across our country. >> reporter: so you don't think pennsylvania is the end, then, potentially? >> definitely not. >> reporter: one of the pennsylvania senators did eventually speak with a print reporter who was representing arizona's broadcast pool and the senator said that he was looking forward to bringing this type of arizona style audit to pennsylvania. kyung lah, cnn, phoenix. "the new york times" says the justice department under the trump administration secretly seized the phone records of four of its reporters. the paper says the current white house notified them that four months' worth of records were seized in 2017. the justice department says the seizure was part of an investigation into a leak of classified information but the reporters themselves weren't

but he's not out just yet. his political rivals led by unlikely allies, yair lapid and naftali bennett have announce add deal to form a unity government that would force mr. netanyahu from office. the israeli parliament the knesset still has to approve the coalition and netanyahu and his allies are expected to do everything they can to derail the deal. the chairman of his likud party tweeted the left is celebrating but this is a very sad day for the state of israel. so if the new government is approved right wing religious nationalist naftali bennett would serve as the prime minister for two years followed by yair lapid until 2025. hadas gold has more on bennett's rise to power. >> reporter: once a close aide to the prime minister, this may be the man to break benjamin netanyahu's 12-year run as israel's leader. naftali bennett, a right wing ambitious self-made tech millionaire eager to stake out a
1:35 am
personal mark in israel's future. >> translator: i am announcing today that i intend to act with all of my strength to form a national unity government together with my friend yair lapid so that, god willing, together we will rescue the country from this tailspin and we will get israel back on track. >> reporter: the 49-year-old was born to immigrants from san francisco. a modern orthodox jew bennett served in an is leet unit for six years until the 1990s. en then became an entrepreneur. bennett launched a tech startup in 1999 which he later sold for $145 million. bennett burst on to the political scene in 2013 leading the orthodox jewish home party to seats in the israeli parliament. >> we're more realistic. we think the vis-a-vis the palestinian issue the full peace sort of -- or forming a
1:36 am
palestinian state within israel is suicidal and it turns out the most israelis view that, but we've put forward realistic practical plan. >> reporter: at his ideological core is a strong opposition to a palestinian sovereign state and his party keen to annex parts of the west bank. bennett's other position right side not without controversy, saying that palestinian terrorists should be killed rather than released. in the april 2019 election his party did not get through the electoral threshold and were left in the political wilderness. after a merger with another party he rebranded the party in 2019 and holds seven seats in the knesset. he eventually returned to the corridors of power becoming very close to the prime minister. he served in various netanyahu governments as defense, education and economic minister, but despite sharing a similar ideology bennett and netanyahu have had a rocky relation state highway patrol. after four failed elections in two years and the recent armed
1:37 am
conflict with hamas-led militants in gaza bennett agreed to join forces with jair lapid to push out netanyahu. the question is will they have the parliamentary votes to unseat the longest serving prime minister in israeli history. hadas gold, carolina panthers, jerusalem. with me now live from tel aviv is noel landau. thank you for joining us. so in reaction to the announcement you tweeted there's still more than a week to iron all details or mess up. so what do you think, will this actually happen and if so how long could a coalition possibly last? >> hi, kim. well, i think we are all in israel pretty much frustrated from, you know, so many rounds of elections. it's been two years, you know, this political turbulence and no one is sure how it's going to actually end until it's over. so there's still about a week to
1:38 am
iron, as i tweeted all the details, and also netanyahu will use that time to do whatever he can to prevent this new government from taking place. >> so in terms of possible impacts, i mean, in your most recent article you wrote, representatives of israel's arab citizens and separate party lists and using different strategies have once again proven that they are key players in the struggle for the future of the state's leadership. they are not going anywhere and they are not in anyone's pocket. so explain what their role in this coalition signifies for the future of jewish-arab partnerships going forward. >> so this is probably the most interesting thing that happened in these elections and the new government maybe. for the first time arab parties and especially the islamist party, is taking a major role in israeli politics. up until now it was taboo even
1:39 am
for left wing parties in israel to form a government. it did happen once, but in general it's pretty much a taboo even for the will efficient to form a government with arab parties and also for them it was a taboo because they didn't want to take an official part in an actual zionist government. so what we're seeing now is historic and this is actually thanks to benjamin netanyahu himself. he is the one who kind of c culturized the arab parties so this was his move to begin with and then the center left and the right wing that opposes netanyahu kind of took his initiative and brought these parties to their own government themselves. >> and then the thinking is if
1:40 am
he, you know, were to just walk away and step down, then that glue uniting them all would sort of dissolve as well. i want to turn to the u.s. secretary of state antony blinken said he could work with anyone and senator bernie sanders said this, listen to this. >> i will not be mourning the departure of the prime minister, mr. netanyahu, and i hope that israel will have a government that we will be better able to work with. >> so i'm wondering what you think this might mean for u.s.-israeli relations. for the u.s. it is an opportunity to sort of reset after dealing with the prime minister who was so closely tied to donald trump, or does it make it much harder to deal with rotating prime ministers with completely different outlooks who are being kept in check by all of his disparate factions? >> well, kim, first of all, it's not a secret that benjamin netanyahu was of course very much aligned with donald trump and the republican party, even
1:41 am
during obama's term, so on one hand it is an opportunity to kind of open a new page in the relations between israel and the democratic party. on the other hand, of course, naftali bennett and some of the other partners in this weird coalition are indeed very much right wing. so i'm not sure how this will work with the more progressive sides of the democratic party. so, yes, there is an opportunity to kind of start over, but on the other hand it's not going to be that easy. >> yeah. still a lot to be decided. so much still in the air. thank you so much for your perspective, i really appreciate it. >> thank you. children open fire on police in florida with an intent to kill. we will show you how the officers kept the shootout from turning deadly when we return. stay with us.

more than 160 people are custody in texas after border patrol agents stopped two human smuggling attempts within hours of each other. they say more than 150 undocumented migrants were found in two tractor-trailers, both of the drivers were u.s. citizens. those inside the trailers were from mexico, honduras, guatemala, el salvador, ecuador and the dominican republic. stunning events in florida where a 14-year-old girl is in the hospital after she and a 12-year-old boy got into a shootout with police. the children broke into an empty home with multiple guns inside and opened fire on police when they arrived on the scene. cnn's leyla santiago reports. >> reporter: the nine-minute video a compilation of body cam as well as aerial footage from the voluntarily is that county sheriff's office is disturbing and the details we have learned
1:46 am
from the police report, also disturbing. let's start with the video. [ gunshots ] >> shooting out the rear window toward my direction. stand by. >> reporter: in the video you hear gunshots, a lot of them. the sheriffs said the children fired at deputies with guns stolen from the home and at one point you see a deputy with his gun drawn behind a dree hiding and you hear him say in a soft voice don't make me do this. don't do this. also on video traffic you hear instructions for officers not to challenge the two and repeated calls to deescalate. in fact, according to the sheriffs several tactics were used to try to deescalate the situation, including throwing in a phone to calling for tear gas. and this went on according to the sheriff for more than half an hour. so how did this end? eventually the 12-year-old surrendered and deputies ended up shooting the 14-year-old and then she was taken away for treatment.
1:47 am
