indict trump. >> i listened to michael cohen say things that are directly contrary to what he said to us and now he's on the revenge tour. saying a judge should throw out the special grand jury's final report. all schools across l.a. west will be closed. >> we need to make a living wage. how he is able to wear that uniform. >> does it make you reflect differently on your time? >> it makes me question every single person i work with. live from london, this is "cnn newsroom" with max foster and bianca nobilo. >> it is tuesday, march 21st, 4:00 a.m. in new york where the manhattan district attorney could indict donald trump any

day now. but we're told any courthouse appearance or aany arrest won't happen until next week. >> he could be charged related to the hush money payment to stormy daniels. >> trump's attorney said that cohen on his own decided to pay the $130,000. >> i'm just trying to tell the truth to the grand jury. if they want go after donald trump and they have solid evidence, so be it, but michael cohen is far from solid evidence. this guy by any prosecutor's standard, and i used to be deputy chief of the criminal division, i wouldn't have touched a guy like michael cohen especially if he is a convicted per injurer. >> cohen admits making the payment in the closing days of the presidential campaign, but he is standing by his campaign that it was all under the direction of donald trump.

>> bob costello, if he was anymore imaginary in the statements that are coming out of his mouth, you'd be a number one "new york times" best selling fiction author. >> new york is stepping up security ahead of a possible trump indictment. mayor adams says there are no credit ble threats, but police e putting up barricades just to be safe. >> and shimon prokupecz reports. >> reporter: law enforcement officials from the federal government and the nypd and state officials all met on monday to discuss security for potential indictment for a court appearance for the former president here in lower mountain at the criminal courthouse. of course a huge security undertaking from how the former president would get into the courthouse, what would happen inside the courthouse, the processing of the former president. all of that has been discussed. right now what is on the table and what officials are leaning

towards is that if there was an indictment, the former president would appear in court sometime next week. that is to give officials a couple days to get security preparations under way from the secret service to the fbi and other law enforcement officials. so still a lot we're trying to learn of course for officials and really it will be up to the district attorney on when all of this happens if there is an indictment. shimon prokupecz, cnn, new york. trump's legal troubles don't end in new york. he is also facing rape allegations from an author as investigations into classified documents and the capitol riots and claims of election interference in georgia. >> a source tells cnn the fulton county district attorney could decide on charges within the next three months including racketeering and conspiracy. here is evan perez. >> reporter: it is a case that

he is frankly most worried about. and it is because of what don lemon and others were reporting that the district attorney was considering racketeering and conspiracy charges, this is along the lines of what she has previously said was being considered but again idea being that the former president and his effort to remain in office to try to find votes and try to find people in the -- officials there in the state of georgia to help him overturn the election, that would be the case that they are trying to bring. according to the reporting that we have, they have at least three recordings of the former president urging georgia officials to do this. so that is part of what is now being looked at there. >> house republicans say that they are planning their own investigation of manhattan district attorney alvin bragg. the chairman of the judiciary oversight and house administration committees want bragg to testify calling his probe of trump an unprecedented

abuse of prosecutorial authority. dana bash reports that trump is using his legal troubles to win sympathy from his legal supporters. >> the former president understands, in fact in the words of one of his -- somebody in his orbit today to me said that he was on political life support. i'm talking about politics now, not the potential legal trouble he's in, on politics, he was on life support and this whole situation has injected a political infusion for him. and it is something that he is creating. and i think that that is the important thing we need to keep repeating. he is the one who is putting out information about when he would allegedly be arrested and all the things that haven't happened yet. so we have to keep that in very clear perspective, he believes this is a very big political plus for him, which is why he is fanning the flames right now. >> trump has posted on social

media urging his supporters to protest if he is indicted. the attorney for the former president said that his arrest would bring mayhem. >> and meanwhile six people affiliated with the oathkeepers, far right militia, were convicted monday on charges related to the u.s. capitol insurrection on january 6, 2021. >> the charges include a conspiracy to obstruct an official proceeding, destruction of government property and civil disorder. the convictions are seen as another seg wignificant win for u.s. justice department. classes across the nation's second largest school district are canceled today ahead of a three day strike set to begin in the coming hours. this after a union representing 30,000 school worker was unable to reach a contract resolution with the los angeles unified school district. the superintendent said that last minute negotiations failed. >> we've run out of time. i made myself available alongside my team for hours

today hoping that we would in fact be able to have a conversation. for a whole host of reasons, some of which i do not understand, we were never in the same room. or even in the same building. i believe this strike could have been avoided. but it cannot be avoided without parties at the table. it cannot be avoided without individuals actually speaking to one another whether directly or indirectly. and today we had a golden opportunity do to do that, but t didn't happen. >> the school district says it offered a 23% recurring pay increase for members of the service employees international union, but they are seeking a 30% pay rise. the union wants equitable wage increases, more full-time work and respectful treatment. >> we need to make a living wage. we live this weird paradox as

workers that help feed children and yet we struggle to feed our own children. anybody who has kids in school, anybody that really cares about the quality of education, you have to care about the people that guarantee that quality education and that is us. >> the union will be getting a boost of support from united teachers los angeles, the union representing about 30,000 teachers who will participate in a solidarity strike. protests erupted across france after macron's government narrowly survived two no-confidence votes on monday. and police had to use tear gas. and there were fires set to garbage cans and other debris. >> earlier in the day opposition lawmakers walked out as the prime minister addressed the assembly. now this clears the way for the controversial pension reforms to be implemented, set to increase

the retirement abge from 62 to 4 for most workers. and in the coming hours vladimir putin will sit down for a second day of talks with she she xi jinping. monday they met for hours. >> and this is xi's first visit to moscow since russia's invasion of ukraine. it has drawn skepticism from ukraine and its western allies despite china's efforts to frame it up as a peace maker. >> and our correspondents are following all of these developments. kristie lu stout is in hong kong and salma abdelaziz is here with us in london. salma, let's start with you on the western perspective. obviously the white house has made clear their concerns about this meeting. the fact that china might be contemplating helping arm russia in its invasion of ukraine, the fact that this proposed peace deal could just be buying time.

what are the concerns as far as ukraine is involved? >> so today of course ukraine is the top of the agenda. and for president putin, someone who calls the best friend of president xi, he wants that best friend to show up and bring that support in material form. but he will also consider the other options, there is a lot here that we don't know about president xi's thinking. is he going to provide support or is he going to say let's pull back. you'll remember there was a peace proposal published by beijing just a few weeks ago, a 12 point plan, the united states and its allies have said that this is one-sided, it won't help ukraine. but president putin says that it is under consideration. take a listen. >> translator: we studied closely your proposals on the settlement of the crisis in ukraine. of course we'll have an opportunity to discuss this

issue. you also are aware that we are always open to the negotiation process and we'll discuss all of these issues including your initiative. >> and so does beijing deepen its relationship with russia, does it most importantly get directly involved or more involved in the war with ukraine. that is going to be what is causing hand wringing in d.c. but you have to remember that the primary relationship between china and russia is economic. so you have to remember that the economics of this is going to be super important. it is china that provided an anti dote to western sanctions, it is china that helped russia when it was facing u.s. isolation, it is china that rampd ramped up trade with moscow. so will they expand the oil and gas trading. that will be critical at a time when russia does need that support but for those outside of this meeting, it will be all about the optics of this, a man who has just had an arrest warrant issued for him president putin now standing on this

global stage saying i have a powerful ally, i have a friend in beijing. >> yeah, interesting from xi's point of view as well, because china doesn't traditionally have an interventionist policy when it comes to diplomacy, but certainly putting himself out there on this issue. >> absolutely. ever since it declared the no limits partnership last year and leaders of china and russia standing side by side continuing to prevent this united front there in moscow, everyone after the icc issued an arrest warrant from vladimir putin. from the start of the three day state visit, shexi jinping and putin have been calling each other dear friends and xi jinping said that china and russia have similar goals. take a listen to this. >> translator: it is true that both of our countries share the same or similar goals. we have excerpt ed exerted

efforts for the prosperity of our countries and we can cooperate and work together to achieve our goals. >> reporter: the relationship of course is under immense scrutiny. the u.s. has denounced the visit with the secretary of state saying that china with this visit is giving russia diplomatic cover to commit crimes in ukraine before the white house also expressed concern that china might call for a ceasefire during the meeting that would let russian troops effectively stay in ukraine. take a listen to what john kirby told cnn earlier. >> ceasefire called right now would just ratify russia's conquest and given mr. putin to reequip and retrain and restart operations at a time and place of his choosing. >> reporter: from the beginning china has framed this visit as a journey of peace, it comes as china is trying to burnish itself's reputation as an international peace maker after brokering the truce between

saudi arabia and iran and that position paper that will surely be discussed today. >> we'll be watching. thank you both very much. still to come, shares of u.s. bank first republic tumbled despite a major rescue package less than a week ago. a live report on the global banking crisis is next. plus the family of a teen killed in south carolina wants his body exhumed for a private autopsy. why the surviving son of alex murdaugh is issuing a statement. and a storm system is hitting the west coast with vengeance, when we come back. i will use rid-x monthly to help prevent a backup. because rid-d-x is scientifically proven to breakak down septic waste. guaranteed.

u.s. markets were a little calmer monday following the credit suisse deal after the collapse last week. >> but first republic is struggling to stay afloat despite a lifeline. >> and its shares tumbled more than 45% on fears that it would

need a second rescue which jpmorgan and other big learneds may be planning according to the "wall street journal." clare sebastian is joining us to discuss this. with the markets in europe just opening, any chase that they are starting to calm about. >> i think for now coming off a better day on wall street monday, i think that we can share you that the markets have come up quite strongly in the first few minutes of trading. there is a sense that there might be the banks in particular might be finding a footing that the actions of the regulators and central banks coming in with the coordinated action to increasingly liquidity to the system, the swiss essentially rescuing or forcing usb to rescue credit suisse over the weekend, that that has restored confidence a little bit, but at least the authorities are willing to do what it takes. having said that, the regional banks are still under scrutiny. neither first republic nor jpmorgan would comment on whether a plan "b" is in the

works. but certainly plan "a" hasn't worked, confidence hasn't been restored. and this is as we said a crisis of confidence. it has infected the entire banking system. i think that i can show you the big banks over the course of march, they are all down double digits. they still have a lot of that ground to recover. and the question is will they recover it. bank of america and wells fargo lost a fifth of their value in march. this is about confidence but also recognition of the fact that as interest rates go up, banks are having to offer moxwo. >> and they will be lending less, so that is a concern for businesses and people. and does that change the bed's decision making process? >> that is the big question on wall street, what will the fed do. i think that we don't know yet just how much or even if the banks will pull back on lending. i think that that is something that certainly the regulators and central banks are trying to

guard against. that is why they put the extra liquidity into the system. look, a month ago there was no question that the fed would raise rates again. now we've fluctuated a bit in terms of market. but strength in the argument to pause and wait and see what the effect of this will be, whether the banking turmoil will do some of the tightening for the fed. as of now i think most of the market is expecting that they will continue to raise rates. >> thank you, clare. and amazon is cutting another 9,000 jobs, this is after the ecommerce giant announced the slashing of some 18,000 positions earlier this year. it came via a memo to staff on monday. >> and 400 workers are being let go at the platform twwitch.

is increasing across southern california and the weather prediction center picking up on that threat as well. they have increased their excessive rainfall outlook to include los angeles and san diego into that level three of four and moderate risk of flash flooding. so that encompasses about 15 million americans from the coast through the adjacent interior with a slight risk toward the bay region. and across central and southern arizona, slight risk of flooding exists on tuesday as well. this as yet another atmospheric river event lines up and takes aim at the southern portions of california with the greatest threat of flash flooding through tuesday morning into the afternoon and evening hours. that is when we'll start to see some of the heaviest rainfall impact l.a., san diego, just south of san francisco. unfortunately coinciding with some of the rush hour traffic on tuesday morning and then a secondary low will meander off the west coast bringing more waves of moisture through the day on wednesday. now, we have the national

weather service with flood watches in the area. and millions of americans impacted by winter weather alerts as well. we're up to 2 to 3 feet of snow could fall in the higher elevations just outside of los angeles and coastal ranges there, anywhere from 7,000 feet upwards, that is where we're expecting the heaviest amounts of snow. in terms of rainfall, generally 1 to 3 inches of rain anticipated, but with a saturated soil, the potential exists for runoff and that of course could lead to ponding on the roadways hence the localized flash flooding risk. often with atmospheric river events, we could get winds over 75 miles per hour across southern california especially in the higher elevations. back to you. the united nations is making a last ditch effort to convince the world to correct course or face catastrophic effects of climate change. it issued a new report full of

information that they had learned while investigating the murders of maggie and paul murdaugh. now a new legal team for smith's family is seeking to launch a fresh probe into his death and his family has raised about $80,000 to have his body exhumed for a private autopsy. randi kaye has the details. >> heartbreaking. he was a human. and he deserves justice. >> reporter: sandy smith now one step closer to what she hopes will be justice for her son. >> it will be hard to open an investigation after eight years, but it has to start with an examination of his body. >> it is important to me because i love my son and sense i couldn't protect him, i'm going to fight for him. >> reporter: stephen smith, a 19-year-old with dreams of becoming a doctor, was found dead about 4:00 a.m. july 8, 2015 on sandy run road in hampton county. at the time, a pathologist said

it appeared that stephen was the victim of a hit and run, but the south carolina highway patrol incident report noted they didn't find any vehicle debris or injuries consistent with someone being struck by a vehicle. according to the case notes, stephen died from blunt force trauma to the head. he had no broken bones and his loosely tied shoes remained on his feet. >> if you are hit by a vehicle going fast enough that will project you, your shoes will fall off under the best of circumstances. >> reporter: along with exasexashuming stephen's body, they also want to gain access to her son's phone calls and text messages in the months and hours leading up to his death. and investigators are expected to take a fresh look at the forensics and determine if he was struck by a vehicle or something else. sandy told me last year she has never accepted her son was the victim of a hit and run. what do you believe happened to your son? >> i believe that he was beaten

to death. >> reporter: the case file obtained by cnn shows even the lead investigator at the time didn't believe this was a hit and run. >> typically you don't see highway patrol working a murder and that is what this is. no doubt. we're not classifying this as anything other than a murder. >> reporter: yet the case went cold until june 2021 when the south carolina law enforcement division known as s.l.e.d. opened an investigation into stephen's death based on information gathered while investigating the murders of paul and maggie murdaugh. s.l.e.d. has not said what was found. >> he went to school with buster. and they played like little league ball together. >> reporter: during interviews in the case file released by highway patrol to cnn, the murdaugh name is mentioned dozens of times by both witnesses and investigators including the name of buster. during one audio interview then

south carolina state trooper todd probctor says this -- >> he was on our radar. >> reporter: why buster was on their radar is still unclear. neither he nor anybody else has been charged in this case. and 2 for the first time buster murdaugh is commenting publicly. he says these baseless rumors of my involvement with stephen and his death are false. i deny any involvement in his death and my heart goes out to the smith family. randi kaye, cnn. >> intriguing. a colorado dentist arrested in connection with the poisoning death of his wife was, quote, searching for ways to kill someone undetected according to a police affidavit filed monday. >> he had gone to great lengths to try to end his wife's life and he had researched undetectable poisons and he

does it make you reflect differently on your time? >> it makes me question probably every single person that i worked with. >> reporter: after kerrik pleaded guilty to 71 sexual offenses, the police admitted that he came to their attention nine times. >> we have missed opportunities over time to identify a pattern of abusive behavior. >> reporter: cnn spent more than a month looking into the missed opportunities. and found that on at least two occasions police did not follow their own procedures for himtin conduct and failed to treat it with the severity that it deserves.school conduct and failed to treat it with the severity that it deserves. we spoke to one of the victims by text. after months of abuse she reported to a police station outside of london in july 2021. >> it is not easy for you to arrive at a police station and tell a policeman i was raped by a policeman. >> reporter: kerrik was replaced

on restricted duties and gun removed but not suspended. she ended up withdrawing her complaint. >> i didn't feel protected. whenever i went to the police station to make another statement, nobody told me anything so i didn't think that they believed me. >> reporter: within two months kerrik was preparing to return to full duties armed once again, that should never have happened. following research into the met's protocol for handling high school conduct investigations, it should have been investigated further. and the officers assigned to the case would have had access to researchable database that logged at least one previous incident in which he was violent towards a woman just five months before. in september 2019, a neighbor reported they had seen kerrik grabbing a woman by a neck during a domestic incident. police told us that they sent a report to the met police specifically to the department handling complaints against

officers known as the director of professional standards or the dps. and according to the dps, allegations as serious of this should have been escalated. >> it is domestic violence, third party reporting, so clearly it was done in view of other people and the fact that in c kerrik was carrying a gun and should have been escalated. >> reporter: but no further action was taken. the victim did not want to pursue charges at the time but now there are allegations against him. in october 2021, he was finally arrested again when another woman came forward with a rape allegation three months after the complaint. he was charged and the previous case reopened. >> i told god and myself thank you lord for showing up another victim so now they believe me. >> reporter: she is not alone.

out of 573 met police officers accused of sexual offenses by the public over 11 year, just two were charged. to add to the horror, two of kerrik's colleagues have been replaced on restrictive duties. sky news reported had they had been sending sexually suggestive messages. as yet no police officer have faced any consequences. uk police watchdog has reopened a review into the handling of the case despite previously saying that they had no cause to investigate. and the force continues to struggle to prove that it can keep women safe and hold its officers to account. >> and we have this major investigation now, a year's long investigation and they discovered that the public has been protected by the police. members of staff haven't been protected against abusive

officers effectively. and it is institutional. >> i mean in the words of l london's mayor, the evidence is damning. it calls for institutional racism, institutional ma misogy. and we asked them for any comment and they referred them to other statements and said that they won't comment while there are ongoing reviews. and there is another review to see if there is any misconduct, any potential criminal proceedings for the officers handling the case. the number of reviews and scale of this issue is evidence. and not only has this been raised by themes but raised by previous reports as well. this is a completing issue and t -- repeating issue and so whether the recommendations will be listened to. she says that these issues are not taken seriously and so they

are not hearing the complaints. >> a boy's culture you could argue. a boy's club. >> absolutely. and i think that one the things that we noted had our reporting really match what had they found, this idea of reports not being listened to. women not feeling believed by the police. complaints were dismissed. and the identified behavior not being addressed despite multiple reports. and some other offenders may still be in the police. >> scary stuff. katie, thank you very much. and leader of taiwan will be in new york and then equaguatem and los angeles.

old baby. and ntsb chair says that changing the policy of lap babies is just one recommendation the ntsb has to put into place new regulations by the faa to make these turbulence incidents less dangerous. >> it is the most common issue experienced on airliners. and it can be very dangerous especially if you are not belted in. make sure that you are wearing your seat belt the entire flight. not just portions of the flight. the entire flight. >> reporter: think about this, a 20 pound infants under extreme forces in a plane crash, 10 gs or more, that would effectively make that infant weigh 200 pounds. the faa says that your arms are simply not strong enough to hold on to a baby on your lap in these extreme conditions. the faa points out that you should get a car seat forward facing or refacing to hold a baby under 2 years old on board a commercial airliner and make
