welcome to watching us here in the united states, command and around the world i'm kim brunhuber coming up on cnn newsroom, donald trump could

become the first former president ever to be criminally indicted. ahead why his former lawyer, michael cohen might play a key role. in california residents are preparing for another round of severe weather including excessive rainfall, official from monterey county joins me in a few minutes and a shock and outrage in germany after a deadly attack on a jehovah's witness church. ♪. ♪. live from cnn center. this is cnn newsroom. with kim brunhuber. it's been more than six years since $130,000 in hush money was paid to porn star stormy daniels to keep her from going public about an alleged affair with donald trump, that payment was made days before the 2016 presidential election, now, the new york times reports the trump has been offered a chance to testify next week before the grand jury that's been hearing evidence in that case. cnn evan paris tells us what it might mean for the former

president. >> reporter: we know that they met with trump team recently and time says that the signal at least that was sent was that an indictment may be imminent. we know that a number of witnesses has reported a number of witnesses gone before this grand jury, and it appears you know, they run out of witnesses, they've, very, few other people they could bring before the before the grand jury, so a decision appears to be in the offing, and all signals are that they're ready to bring a case against a former president. this centers around this $130,000 hush money payment that was made to stormy daniels before the 2016 election. and you know, the key witness they would be relying on for this case under new york state law is michael cohen. michael cohen is, of course, the former fixer, former president

who in 2018 admitted to lying to congress and was convicted the idea that you'll bring a case with michael cohen as your star witness does raise tough questions for the manhattan da. we do know obviously according to cohen that you know, the hush money payments were reimbursed to him and so there is a trail of money. there is money that prosecutors will be able to show, and perhaps you can get witnesses who can say, well, trump never pays anything unless you know, he knows what it's for. he's known to be very tight fisted with his money. >> we have an update to the shooting at a jehovah's witness center in hamburg germany, police say seven people are now confirmed dead as well as the gunman. cnn jim bitter man is following this live from paris, jim, we're still getting information about it's still breaking what more

can you tell us? >> well, in fact, in addition to the eight dead, which includes the gunman, in fact, there is a number of people injured, we're trying to get a count on exactly how many people have been injured in this shooting attack. it came after a meeting at the jehovah's witness meeting hall in hamburg it's not clear what the motive is. there has been a number of things over decades here in europe in terms of discrimination against jehovah's witnesses including here in france, in fact, where in fact, they've had to go to court in order to clear their name after being classified as a sect in the mid 1990s, there's some discrimination, prejudice throughout europe. and they've had to go to court, the organizations had to go to court a number of times to try to clear their name. now, after the shooting, chancellor scholz of germany had this to say, several members of

the jehovah's witness community fell victim to a brutal attack of violence last night, my thoughts are with them and loved ones and there was a statement that came out from the church that said the religious community is deeply saddened by the horrific attack on its members at the kingdom hall in hamburg after a religious service, we pray for those affected and wish them for the strength of god and all comfort. up till now, that's about what we know, kim, but we're expecting to get a briefing some time later this morning perhaps around the noon hour by the hamburg police at that point >> any idea how people are reacting? it must be quite shocking for a country that doesn't really see this type of gun violence all that often. like say here in the u.s. >>reporter: i think so, i think that it's quite shocking because in fact, in germany and in france, as well and other parts of europe, it's quite difficult to get hold of weapons to begin

with, but also these kinds of crimes are don't happen often but they do happen. and there have been a number of attacks over the years but nothing compared to what you see in the united states, kim. >> we'll keep on top of this appreciate the reporting there, jim bitterman thanks so much. the mexican drug cartel thought to be responsible pour kidnapping four american puts last week and killing two has reportedly issued an apology letter, the cartel also apparently handed over five members to local authorities according to images posted online and an official familiar with the investigation, but cnn can't confirm that. meanwhile the remains of the u.s. tourists who were killed were re-patriated on thursday, cnn has this update >> all four americans are back on u.s. soil, the two americans injured had been in the united states since tuesday getting medical attention, the other two

americans, the american whose were killed, were return to the united states late thursday, there was a car van of the vehicle that is crossed from matamoros to brownsville texas that carried caskets, they were taken to a funeral home, a second autopsy is expected. this as we're learning more about the hours and the days after the kidnapping of these four americans, mexican authorities saying they found a clinic where these americans were given first aid and they also seized an ambulance that was used to transport the americans to that clinic, it's important to know that in mexico, there are private ambulance services and that there are also clan did he say dine clinics in the area, we're also learning from mexican authorities that mexico sent hundreds of troops to this area to secure the border. according to mexican authorities, that includes 200 mexican army soldiers and 100

national guard members, all within the state ag's office tell cnn that this still an ongoing investigation, and that they're investigating all angles. flores cnn brownsville texas meanwhile mexico's president is lashing out at republicans over a proposal that would give the u.s. new power to fight mexican drug cartels on both sides of the border. lopez said mexico isn't a colony of the u.s. and called the proposal disrespectful. >> we are not going to allow foreign government. to intervene. much less armed forces of a foreign government. to intervene in our territory. >> the u.s. senate republicans said drug cartels have been terrorizing americans decades and need to be taken down, he threatened to end leash fury and

might of the u.s. against the cartels if mexico doesn't do more to stop them. listen. >> what's offensive to me is for him to not take decisive action against a common problem. for he's lost control of a large part of mexico to terrorists people in mexico are living in fear, my country is being poisoned, so i don't care if he's offended or not. i want him to up his game. business it's a usual is not going to continue. >> across the western u.s., nine states are facing winter weather alerts, california alone more than 60 million people are under flood threats amid yet another atmospheric river event expected to bring heavy rain which, in some places could trigger melting of mountain snow, residents are urged to stay inside. >>reporter: in our business message to people if if you don't have to be out, please don't be out, don't drive

through standing water. you don't know how deep it is. >> and it's not just rain, 20 million people across the west are under high wind alerts the highest elevations gusts could reach 80 miles an hour, governor gavin knew some requested a presidential emergency declaration, as residents were finally catching breaths after previous winter storms >> we've been working every week, every week, when we can since then, and it's just starting now to feel like it was before the storms. so this kind of discouraging to be facing it all over again. >> some parts of the state have already issued evacuation warnings, one resident is hoping for a warning before the worst hits. listen to this. >> we don't have a plan b right now, we're hoping it doesn't get to be that bad or that we'll at least have warning before it does >> and the extreme weather will continue into the weekend, derek

van dam has latest. >> overnight the weather prediction center upping the anti-an witht with with the latest event pump pelling california with heavy rain and snow, issued highest alert level for flash flooding in and around monterey county, to put it in context the first time they've done it since 10, overnight the moderate risk in the san francisco bay region, friday, high risk level extends south, as well as the central sierra nevada mountain range, let me explain why this is important remember the various atmospheric river events dumping copious amounts of snowfall, burying homes and vehicles literally this particular storm will be significantly milder than the previous atmospheric river events because we're tapping into the deep tropical moisture south of hawaii. you can pretty much track the cloud cover train all the way

from hawaii into the state of california. now, the various computer model that is meteorologists look to show an indicate that the freezing level is actually going to be about 1,000 feet higher than what we previously anticipated yesterday. that means more rain will fall out of the system on top of that deep snow pack that you saw a moment ago. there will still be snow, several feet of it across the syria mountain range, this will allow for rapid snow melt, the potential for flash flooding, landslides and mud slides, national weather service picking up on that, heavy rainfall and flood watch continues here the first atmospheric river event lasting through the day friday, moves inward along with a moisture plume and look what's waiting another rain and snow event anticipated by the end of the week end and early parts of next week, back to you. and joining me from celine news california is matthew, an emt and fire prevention

specialist with the monterey county regional fire district. thanks so much for being here with us. we just heard about how bad things are across state. especially where you are what are the latest conditions and best threats folks are facing >> some threats folks are facing are the rivers rising, rain did pick up quite a bit last night and ass just mentioned the warm weather, air kind of came with it. there was a significant increase in temperature, but a lot of moisture and a lot of wind last night. so the winds and rains are persisting currently. >> i know people have been preparing they've been sandbagging and so on and you've had evaluation notices as well. are people listening are they really taking this threat seriously. >> yes, they definitely are back when we had our storms earlier in the year, in early january, a lot of people realized how fast

some of this water can fall, and how fast some it can run into the creek and rivers. some problems right now that we're having is the ground is so saturated that the majority of the water falling to the ground is really just running off into the creeks and rivers. that's why we get the rise in the water levels so fast. at this time, we do have some suggestions for people like subscribing to an alert system such as alert monterey county, basically like a reverse 911 system where you can get phone calls to alert you of incoming threats. we also have a phone call called 211, that's a great number, where you can find current incident information as well as some of the community resources >> good advice there. those who sort of aren't paying attention, those who may be stayed when they should have left and got caught in the flooding, how do you get them out? >> so we have a task force assembled, we have three engines in that along with four others

from other agencies, they are patrolling the areas, some of the low lying areas that are more prone to flooding. we also have some high water vehicles that have come into town to assist us with any types of needed evacuations and rescues. >> as we just heard from our meteorologist, it's supposed to get worse and then i'm thinking sort of in the longer term, i mean, you had a lot of snow as well, when you get all of that rain and then later all the snow that's melting are you going to expect more of this flooding maybe later in the season as well? >> here in monterey county in we're not as affected by the snow melt. it was nice last week with the cold storm, we did get dusting on the hills different than what we're used to but we're not going to see the type of snow melt that the syrian nevadas and towns in that area will have but we do, like i said have a lot of

water coming off the mountains straight into the creeks and rivers and that is going to give potential for the water levels to rise. those are being monitored now, they're, the waters have been going up a little bit but right now, we're just kind of keeping an eye on it. >> just finally before we go on i want to take a wider look, how unusual are the conditions you're seeing? we know you know, due to climate change we'll see more and more of this type of extreme weather. there something you have to do to look more long-term and prepare for these situations as they become more and more normal? >> preparation is key, you're right about that. preparing your family, yourself and your animals before a storm is always best thing to do. we even have some types of preparedness plans are available through the monterey county oes system, the monterey county oes website has sample things people

can do to prepare for such things. but as far as climate change and things like that, winters vary, some carry more moisture, some less, this year we're seeing a lot more moisture just like we had in january, similar moisture levels to that again here in march. >> wish you and everyone out there all best as you deal with this extreme weather matthew, thanks so much for joining us. appreciate it. >> thank you for having me. have a great day. president biden is looking to cut three trillion dollars from the federal deficit with the new budget. he unveiled his plan during a speech on thursday in philadelphia and more of a challenge to republicans than a congressional reality. it doesn't cut medicare or social security but includes funding for preschool, family, medical leave, college grads, school lunches ukraine and clean energy paid for with tax hikes and corporationses and americans

making more than $400,000 a year. here's the president's message to republicans. >> i'm going to introduce my budget on the 9th of march you introduce yours we'll sit down line by line and go through it. see if we can agree or disagree, and then fight it out in the congress. i want to make it clear i'm ready to meet with the speaker any time tomorrow if he has his budget, lay it down, tell me what you want to do. >> wall street is looking to rebound after a 543 appoint drop for the dow let's look at u.s. futures they're all down, investors are keeping an eye on february's unemployment numbers which are due in the coming hours expected to have a major impact on the federal reserves interest rate decision later this month. >> when you think about what this administration has done over the last two years with getting people back to work, with creating more opportunities, getting people am i better positions with higher wages the president has been

clear, the economy is moving in a positive direction, but he's also very clear that he wants to do everything he can to ease the inflation pressures that every american is facing now. >> former south carolina governor nikki haley is taking on social security and medicare in her bid for the white house, it's a risky move those two federal entitle programs are critical to most older americans and politicians rarely mention them to avoid alienating senior voters, not haley she said younger people entering the workforce need to change expectations about when they will retire or benefits she'll receive here's how she explained it in a campaign stop on wednesday. >> social security will go bankrupt in ten years, we need to fix it. how do we fix it? you focus on the new generation, you focus on what's next. so the first thing you do is change the retirement age of the young people coming up. so that we can try and have some sort of system for them.

the second thing is you go and you limit the benefits for wealthy people. >> haley declined to recommend a specific retirement age but said should reflect most americans are living stronger, the stress people now retired or near retirement wouldn't be affect the theeded. a spokesperson for mitch mcconnell said the republican leader stay in the hospital few more days he's treated for a concussion after tripped and falling at a hotel on wednesday, he's the senate's longest serving republican leader in history first elected in 1984 and served seven terms in the senate. russia is reportedly changing its game plan with its missile strikes on ukraine, a new tactic to beat ukraine air defenses >> also large defenses in israel over a proposal to greatly weaken the natioion's supreme court.

. welcome back to all of you watching us here in the united states canada and around the world. i'm kim brunhuber back to the breaking news the death toll from a shooting from a jehovah's witness in hamburg germany went up. seven people confirmed dead along with the gunman. the chancellor spoke out calling eight brutal act of violence, police with guns drawn were seen entering the building thursday and believe there's one shooter, no word on a possible motive. according to local media, seven people are wounded, some seriously. the jehovah's witness community released a statement saying it's deeply saddened by the horrific attack after a religious service. 51-year-old siamak namazi is

an iranian u.s. national with dual citizenship arrested in 15 on a business trip to iran now held in an iranian detention along with any other american, he spoke by phone exclusively with christiane amanpour and filed this report. >> i honestly would defy anybody for the moved by this incredibly rare unusual and compelling conversation with an iranian american who's been detained unjustly in evin prison the past seven years. he decided he felt so abandoned, so out of options that he had to come through us to try to besiege directly president biden to do whatever it takes to bring himself and two other american iranians still in evin prison, here's part of that conversation. >> i think the very fact that i've chosen to take this risk and appear on cnn from evin prison should tell you how dire

my situation has become by this point. i've been a hostage seven and a half years now. that's six times the hostage crisis, i keep getting told i'll be rescued and deals fall apart or i get left abandoned. honestly, the other hostages and i desperately need president biden to finally hear us out to finally hear our cry for help and bring us home and i suppose desperate times call for desperate measures this is a desperate measure >> you wrote this letter to president biden recently and i'm going to quote a little bit from it. day after day, i ignore the intense pain that i always carry with me and do my best to fight this grave injustice. all i want, sir, is one minute of your day's time for the next

seven days devoted to thinking about the tribulations of the u.s. hostages in iran, did you get any personal response to that letter, siamak namazi? >> i've never had a response, this is what makes things particularly painful. president biden has been in office for 25 months now. excuse me. this is hard. president biden, i certainly hear and i sincerely appreciate your administration's repeated declarations that freeing the american hostages in iran was the top priority. but i remain deeply worried that the white house just doesn't appreciate how dire our situation has become. it's also very hurtful and upsetting that after 25 months in office, you haven't found the time to meet with our family. it's just give some words of assurance, sir, we've now collectively languished here for

18 years. our lives and families have been utterly devastated we desperate, desperately need you to finally conclude we suffered long enough. president biden, you and you alone have the power to deliver obama administration broken promise to my family. >> you can imagine it took a huge amount of courage and desperation and equal measures to take this step. he's written to the president, he's gone on hunger strike, he's issued tweets and opt eds, whatever means he's been able to do the last period of time but nothing worked. we understand now from experts that there potentially is some deal in the works using khatar as an intermediate but it would

involve a financial transaction, what's being asked of the president is to be brave enough to do what other presidents have done and in our countries to do what they have to do on humanitarian grounds to bring their citizens home. >> cnn reached out to the iranian and u.s. governments for comment, iran hasn't applied but the white house said iran unjust exploitation and, is outrageous in human and contrary to international norms united states will stand up for the rights of our citizens wrongfully detained overseas including siamak namazi we meet and consult regularly with the family and will continue to do so until this unacceptable detention ends and siamak is reunited with his family. the state department reiterated white house officials and senior state department officials have met with namazi's family and they're in contact regularly, state department spokesperson

ned price said namazi's release has been a priority of the the current u.s. administration. here he is. >> we have made clear to the regime since the earliest days of this administration the priority we attach to seeing the prompt release of those americans who are detained wrongfully. we're always going to stand up for the rights of our citizens who are wrongfully detained and that, of course, includes siamak namazi. officials from this building as well as the white house meet and consult regularly with the namazi family and we'll continue to do so until this wrongful and unacceptable detention comes to an end. >> rising tensions between israelis and palestinians flared again thursday, in downtown tel aviv's entertainment district. the 23-year-old palestinian man was fatally shot after he opened fire wounding three israelis,
