wants to wait and see if alvin bragger jack smith are going to throw him a lifeline instead. yeah, and they might. it was noticeable notable to me, also that he used it every to clarify his stance on ukraine after he got so much criticism from other republicans on that he's now saying, you know when he called it a territorial dispute that was mischaracterized. i saw. i thought it was interesting that the murdochs gave him this spread. there's a sign in that, i think, clearly remember when trump ran for reelection. they just did one small line there, right. smerconish laura! sarah what a lovely evening together. enjoyed this and thank you for joining us here today. nice. hello and welcome to our viewers joining us in the united states and all around the world. you're watching cnn newsroom i'm kristie lu stout and just ahead. no indictment yet, but the manhattan grand jury gets back

to work today in the donald trump hush money investigation and the former president's legal troubles this week. don't end there. now. the u. s. federal reserve hikes interest rates for the ninth straight time, and the fed chair says the banking crisis could complicate the past forward. plus ticktock goes to washington. some politicians have started talking about banning tiktok. now this could take take take away from all 150 million of you. the company's ceo, is preparing for grilling on capitol hill to try and prevent tiktok from being banned in the united states. and we begin this hour in new york, where grand jury is expected to meet again today in the case of donald trump's alleged hush money payments to

adult film star stormy daniels, it is unlikely they will hand down any indictment as sources tell cnn that prosecutors are considering calling more witnesses. other sources say the district attorney's office is taking a moment to regroup after the events of the past week. prosecutors are weighing charges that trump allegedly falsified business records and violated campaign. in finance laws. another investigation to the former president appears to be gaining momentum on this one involves classified documents found at his mar a lago estate in florida as cnn's caitlin poland's has more. the primary defense attorney for donald trump, a man named evan corcoran is set to return to the federal grand jury in washington to answer more questions the questions that prosecutors want to ask him and the answer is that they believe he will give or about whether or not donald trump was trying to break the law in the response to the classified documents probe at mara lago, so this is a crucial

situation that is developed here over the past. a few hours and days of federal appeals court in washington on wednesday, essentially ordered that corcoran would need to go and testify again to that grand jury answer questions he hadn't before about his conversations directly with his client, donald trump. the appeals court also said that he would need to turn over documents that he had in his possession, handwritten notes and transcribed verbal notes to the grand jury investigation as well. this is the grand jury investigation into the potential mishandling of classified records at mara lago and possibly obstruction of justice. we don't know if there will be charges that emanate from this, but what the justice department has done so far to get us to this point is really putting an emphasis on how close they believe they are to locking up this case, they believe that there was the advancing of a crime. it's quite significant.

and evan corcoran really is the central person the central witness to the conversation. rations what was what donald trump was thinking and wanting to do as the justice department was trying to get classified records that he had at mara lago back in their possession at the federal government and that they weren't just turning over all of the things that were there. caitlin poland's cnn, washington as the various investigations into donald trump heat up one of his top rivals for the 2024 republican nomination, is now striking back at the former president. and this is a notable change for florida governor ron de santis, who until now has generally avoided criticizing by name, but. in a new interview, santis takes a veil job trump's alleged behavior regarding the hush money payments. well, i think it's there's a lot of speculation about what the underlying conduct is. that is purported to be it. and you know the reality is that just outside

my wheelhouse, i mean, that's just not something that i can speak to. trump has a habit of taunting his opponents with unflattering nicknames, and santis is no exception. the governor was asked to comment on the mini swipes that trump has made about him. listen to this. which is your favorite nickname that trump's given you so far as it run, rhonda, sanctimonious or meatball rock. why can't even he went off meatball wrong, but i can't i don't know how to spell the sanctimonious. i don't really know what it means. but, you know, i kind of like it's long. it's got a lot of valves. i mean, so we'll go with that. that's fine. you know, you can call me you can call me whatever you want. i mean, just as long as you, you know, also call me a winner. all right, and trump eat quickly responded. firing off. his own critique of descendants is record as governor, and he said, this quote. the fact is, ron is in average governor but the best by far in the country in one category, public relations where he easily ranks number one, but it is all a

mirage. just look at the facts and figures they don't lie. and we don't want ron as our president, unquote. now the u. s. federal reserve is raising interest rates again the ninth time in just over a year, and it's never ending quest to bring down inflation and the fed increase its key rate by a quarter point on wednesday to the surprise of almost no one. now, policymakers admit that could put more than a million people out of work by the end of the year. but the fed chair jerome powell, says that the end of the rate hikes could be insight. we no longer state that we anticipate that ongoing rate increases will be appropriate to quell inflation. instead we now anticipate that some additional policy affirming may be appropriate. now u. s financial markets did not respond well to the news that dowie film more than 500 points, and nasdaq and the s and p each lost more than 1.5% and let's take a look at how markets here in the asia pacific region are faring at the

moment. bring up the data for you can see the nikkei is slipping about 2/10 of 1% but elsewhere bucking the trend, hong kong hang saying up on this 1.7% the second composite gaining a third of 1% and over and sold the cosby gaining about 2/10 of 1. let's get more now from cnn's richard quest. trust the fed to walk this narrow tightrope and perhaps have it both ways. the fed has admitted that the banking crisis is likely to restrict credit, it will be harder to borrow money, and that will help slow down the economy and ultimately bring down inflation. therefore they didn't need to do as much. and could only raise rates by a quarter point. the banking crisis was doing their work for them. but the feds taken a get out of jail free card by saying that if for some reason, this is all so uncertain, and it doesn't pan out that way, then they will go back to raising rates. you

see inflation in the eyes of the fed is still public enemy number one richard quest, cnn tokyo. alright, let's get to las vegas now and standing by ryan patel, senior fellow at the drucker school of management at claremont graduate university. thank you so much for joining us here in cnn newsroom first up. why did the fed do this? why did the fed go ahead and raise interest rates again? despite all the turmoil in the banking sector? well it had no choice, christie because based on what federal, you know, chairman and said last month about the data and inflation, this was the only logical choice because what would have had signaled if he didn't do it, so if he didn't do it and went to zero basis points out, would have told the market told everybody that there is a deep crisis in the banking, which is something that they were trying to avoid. so that means they're not going that way. and if they increase it further, you know, that would

have been a mistake as well. so they stayed the course and stayed committed. to what they think is the right move. and obviously there's a domino effect on that. and they had to do some adjustments from, you know, kind of recalculating what that interest rate will look like in 2024, which they slipped in there, which now they think it's 4.3% from 4.1. so it is a dumb, no effect. no short term. we're focusing on this, but they're looking at cutting, you know, looking at the long term effect as well that we need to pay attention to the fed is staying the course. what about the bank of england? it's set to make its interest rate decisions soon. what should we expect? who i mean inflation is really hard. i expect him to state now. i want to stay the course but to be aggressively attacking it because they were a little bit behind the eight ball, um, in the summertime, and so i don't you know, inflation, i think was projected to anywhere from 10 to 13% i think they're going to be continue to be aggressively interest rates. um more so because i think they're a little bit behind for when the us was attacking it, so i expect them to be aggressive as well. so this is the trend here and just

last week the went ahead with its rate hike, so we've got central banks all around the world doing this, and actually, they're doing two things at once . they're managing rising prices and inflation. they also have to manage the banking crisis at the same time, are they going to succeed? oh i hope so. for all our for our sex because we can't have this contagion and we saw it right. we need to have this trust in the system with money from businesses as well. i mean, but there's another side to this christie to that. you know. jpmorgan um, recently came out with a defensive approach for asia markets following the fed's latest, you know, kind of decision to do it so what that means, then, is that people are going to be more cautious. death is gonna be a lot more expensive , and that just means there's going to be a slower recovery to that degree, and even in the u. s gdp, i think they came out in this last time and that they were projecting that you know that they were going to go. i think forecast growth report 4% and they're gonna now to down.

so you're starting to see some of these forecasting starting to change going in the summer. i expect the fed. i also expect to fit another 25 basis points sometime later this year at some point, but hopefully it's not next to kind of calm the fears down. they didn't really have a choice. christie to go have a choice. that that's what they're doing this and look, you know, here's hoping that policy will succeed here. but be honest with us. where do we stand right now with the banking crisis because it's been about what two weeks in silicon valley bank collapsed . there was also that we can shotgun marriage between ubs and credit suisse. us officials are trying and seeing what they can to calm the markets. but is all of that enough? to stop this crisis from spreading. well, truthfully, we're not done yet. there's so much more conversations going to happen around this and any one of those, even the ups credit suisse, like there's more shareholders are not happy from credit suisse that could spill over it could cause another kind of conversation. so for me personally, we're not out of the woods. i don't want people to

panic. but like there's going to be all this information, and in this super important for the us u. s government, the fed general yellen to continue to communicate and be transparent to the consumer, because that is key and any country any government at this point because you want to get ahead of it, and you don't want to see more of these. i always say scandals. but more of this news to say you're unsafe of where your money is going. yeah, we need you're absolutely right. we need to demand transparency, because, as you said, we are not done yet. ryan patel. thank you so much for joining us. take care. thank you. in the coming hours. the ceo of tiktok will testify before the us house amid a push by the us government to ban the app across the country, and we're getting a better idea about what he'll say to lawmakers, but his main talking point is neither tiktok nor its parent company, bytedance. it's the agents of the chinese government. but is it enough to convince lawmakers and cnn's anna coren joins me now? with

more and ana? you know, in just a few hours? this is going to take place. the boston tiktok will be facing a grilling on capitol hill. walk us through what to expect. well, that's right. 10, a eastern christie. that is when the ceo of tiktok will face a harsh grilling from us lawmakers as he faces his first congressional hearing later over the video apps potential national security risks now the short form video app that is owned by a beijing based parent company might dances recently been banned by various governments around the world on official government devices. the us uk european parliament various eu nations and new zealand. they've all enforced the band this month, but the ceo uh, it shows the chu . he has spent millions of dollars lobbying capitol hill and says the poses no threat whatsoever. he's denying allegations that it alludes or has an improper relationship

with the chinese government. let's take a listen to what you had to say a few days ago on a tiktok video. some politicians have started talking about banning tiktok. now this could take tiktok away from all 150. million of you will be testifying before congress later this week to share all that we're doing to protect americans using the app and deliver on a mission to inspire creativity and to bring joy. tiktok collects roughly the same amount of data as facebook or twitter, but it's the links with the chinese government that has everybody very concerned the fbi director as well as the head of the us national security agency , they both said that ticktock could be a valuable tool for china to shape public opinion in regards to elections policy, making even in the event of a potential war. over taiwan. now the biden administration says the only way for ticktock to continue operating in the u. s

is if it's chinese owners sell their stake in the company that christie is highly unlikely, according to the analyst that we've spoken to because the chinese government views tick tocks technology is sensitive and critical. two chinese nationals interests since 2020 the chinese government has taken steps to ensure that it can veto any sale by bike debts. in response to the potential us ban. china's ministry of foreign affairs last week, said quote the us should stop spreading misinformation about data security, stop suppressing relevant companies and provide an open fair, just and non discriminatory environment for foreign business to invest and operate in the us and christie to date. we should mention there is no evidence that beijing has used tiktok data for intelligence or other purposes, but and this is a big but the deep mistrust between china and the us and the awareness of chinese espionage is certainly heightened fears of what tiktok

represents. yeah, absolutely. and the questions will be tough and the questions will zero in on national security and data security and a corn reporting for us live, anna. thank you so much now rare tornado has been confirmed near los angeles. the national weather service says it touched down wednesday in the city of monte bello, and one person was hurt 17 buildings and all were damaged, many of them so severely, they can no longer be used. and some say that the rattling was so intense. they thought it was an earthquake. this is the strongest tornado to hit the city in 40 years. and while twisters are rare in california, it's actually the second one to hit the state in as many days extraordinary by watching cnn newsroom coming to you live from hong kong and up next. france braces for another day of mass protests over new law to raise the retirement age by president macron says that there's no other alternatives to

officers have been mobilized across the country ahead of the demonstrations, including 5000 in paris. and despite the growing unrest, president manual macron on wednesday defended the new law as necessary to fix the country's ailing pension system . but public outrage over the changes has led to snarl traffic , closed schools and tons. of rotting garbage on the streets. joining us from los angeles is cnn european affairs commentator dominic thomas. dominic thank you again for joining us this hour on cnn. macron is standing firm, but this is not a done deal. so what has to happen next for pension reform to be enacted? well as far as emmanuel macron's concerned, yes, the legislation will follow its constitutional and past will be reviewed by the kansai data, and his hope is that by early autumn

, this becomes legislation. but as we know from just history all the way back in 1995 1 of his predecessors tried and to enact such reforms, and ultimately, the streets spoke louder than the than the governments will. and at the end, they ended up backing down. so we end up here in the situation where there's a kind of similar standoff with emmanuel macron absolutely determined to legislate on this particular issue and growing voices of dissent from the opposition and from the streets and from the unions that are now mobilized in opposition. not just to these pension reforms, christie but also so to emmanuel macron himself. in the streets are speaking very loudly right now. this decision has sparked widespread outrage across france . why did president macron feel that this was necessary to push this through? why is he taking the stand? yeah, it's really quite remarkable when you consider how controversial and this is going. i was going to be

for him very early on, even during his first term. this was a priority, and in many ways it was derailed because of the focus on the global covid pandemic, and then subsequently , the situation between ukraine and the russian federation. so here he is very early on in his second term, determined to get this legislation through for him. france is a country that does not compete on the global stage. when it comes to the retirement ages. it has one of the and the lowest ages of retirement. people are living longer, and it's costing more and more for the state to implement and these particular measures the opposition see this very differently. they see it as a kind of competing social systems model, but they also think that there are other ways through taxation and so on that these measures can be funded that they are not adequately equitable and also that in manual macron has not adequately consulted over this issue, especially given the fact that

he no longer holds a parliamentary majority here, kristie and dominic from here in asia and also as an american. i think the number of americans would agree with this view as well. being able to retire with a pension at age 64. is a very good deal. you know, it's very generous. so why has the call there in france to shift the retirement age from 62 to 64 caused so much anger and france ? well i think there are a couple of ways of looking at. i think first of all, much of what is going on right now is not automatically to do with pension reform. as i mentioned emmanuel macron and claims to have a mandate that what people will argue is that in the first round of the 2022 general action presidential election. he only had about 28% of the vote and that the rest and ultimately in the second run offstage voted against the far right candidate , marine le pen rather than for him, and then he was unable to

secure a parliamentary majority, so there's sort of opposition to the idea that he can legislate without building these coalitions. i think then when it comes down to the sort of the social system issue, i think the government has done an adequate job of actually explaining the specifics of these reforms, how, for example, they apply. two people that have worked very hard jobs for many years. people who started working in a much younger age people that have raised families or taking care of elderly or sick members of the family, for example, so there's been a kind of marketing issue here and it kind of way of speaking to the french people. that has been problematic, but ultimately you have a polarized political landscape and in mandarin michael, finding it very hard and difficult to build coalitions across party lines to get this policy through. got it and understood. this is not just about pension reform. it's about macron his mandate to lead the polarized political environment there. but as we saw with the village on protests just a couple of years ago, this could quickly gained much more

momentum. dominic thomas, always a prettier insight. thank you so much. thank you, christy. no israeli protesters. they're about to kick off what they call the day of shutdown as they push back against proposed judicial reform. they have been protesting against it for weeks , saying that the reform will undermine israel's democracy at the rallies will continue as prime minister benjamin netanyahu prepares to fly to london on thursday. its coalition is facing international pressure to find the middle ground. on wednesday , the white house urged israeli leaders to find a compromise as soon as possible. watching cnn newsroom still ahead. a judge is deciding whether a $1.6 billion defamation lawsuit against fox news will go to trial and some of the top brass at fox may be compelled to testify. plus we've got the latest in the investigation into the shooting of two staff members at a denver high school. that and more next

on air of cnn's jessica schneider has the latest from washington. a ruling in this high stakes defamation case could come at any time from this delaware judge he's state court judge eric davis. he was appointed by a democratic governor in 2010. he is deciding whether the facts that have been presented so far both in his courtroom and in court filings, whether those facts are sufficient for him to rule in favor of either dominion or fox news. without this case, going to trial now, that is a very high bar. and the likelihood here is that this case will go to trial unless fox and dominion settle before then, and in a hearing on wednesday morning, there were also questions about how a trial would proceed. judge davis actually said he could possibly compel fox corporation chairman rupert murdoch to testify at any trial. and that's because, as judge davis put put it. murdoch has a special role at fox corporation, and he was aware of the guests appearing on fox news is a rare in fact,

rupert murdoch even acknowledged in his deposition that he could have stopped trump's legal team from appearing on the networks air fox news attorneys that were saying that any compelled appearance by rupert murdoch on the witness stand would just create an undue burden. also a media circus and a response to that the judge did say that he'd consider bringing in high profile witnesses via zoom or some other teleconferencing platform. but the stakes in this case are very high. dominion is demanding $1.6 billion in this defamation case, even though fox news is saying that those numbers are inflated, but dominion at the core of this is arguing that since fox news executives and its host knew that they were putting on guests who were promoting false election fraud theories, they say fox should be held accountable here and liable for defamation. fox on the other hand, is arguing that they are fully protected under the first amendment, so no matter which way you slice it, this is a high stakes case, and we'll see if it

goes to trial. jessica schneider, cnn washington. you're watching cnn newsroom and still to come residential buildings in ukraine hit once again by a russian missile strike. we'll hear from those who survived the attack in zaporizhia. feeling this dynamic is invite only. fortunately, you're invited. experience the exhilaration of the performance life. at the invitation to lexus sales event. with gold bun you can age on your own terms. retinol overnight means the smoothg benefits of retinol are now for your whole body. us fast working crepe

moment when a police officer repelled from above and pushed the suspect back inside along force mint sources that he smashed the window and tried to escape after the fbi attempted to serve a search warrant for suspected wire fraud on wednesday on the suspect in mitchell, then threatened to jump, but the source says that mitchell was arrested after police forced him. back into the building. incredible now in off duty pilot who was a passenger on a southwest airlines flight, was pressed into action on wednesday after one of the original pilots needed medical attention. okay we're going to get air stairs out here captain became incapacitated while in route he's in the back of the aircraft. right now. it's a flight attendant, but we need to get him on an ambulance immediately. wow. what a white knuckle moment at the plane. it was bound for columbus, ohio. it was in the air for a little over an hour before returning safely to las vegas and a nurse on

board helped care for the stricken pilot. southwest is not released details about the pilot's condition. the faa says it will investigate the incident and now to a bitter battle in the political battleground state of wisconsin and what might be the most important election of the year. voters there are deciding who will control the state supreme court. that is important because the court only narrowly rejected donald trump's attempts to overturn his 2020 election loss. this race pits a trump ally against a liberal candidate. even former president barack obama is getting involved. he's telling voters it's going to be close, and he's urging them to vote early. seen as jeff zeleny reports. voting is underway again in battleground wisconsin echoes of the last presidential race still resonate. even as an april election nears. this time, the campaign is all about the court, the state supreme court that

came within one vote of overturning donald trump's narrow laws to joe biden here three years ago. he is a true threat to our democracy. so once again, relying county judge janet protests awaits the liberal candidate sparred on a debate stage here this week with former supreme court justice daniel kelly, a conservative who lost his seat in 2020 and is fighting to return to the state's highest court. has become the nation's most expensive judicial race on record electricity. in wisconsin extremist dan kelly was the right wing lawyer behind the scenes of it all $30 million in counting on ads alone would set violent criminals free again and again in a bitter contest over abortion rights, redistricting and even rules for voting in the next presidential election. the results of the 2024 presidential elections are likely to come in front of the supreme court as well. the 10 electoral votes that we have here are very, very highly sought after 22 24

presidential election. be a part of this race? nope, we deal with in the court. is legal questions political questions those are resolved in the legislation. that's why i don't talk about politics with the democratic governor in a republican legislature that conservative leaning supreme court often has had the last word from outlawing ballot drop boxes to potentially taking up a challenge to an 18 49 law banning nearly all abortions after the supreme court overturned roe versus wade , my opponent is elected 18 49 abortion ban will stay. what's to you? dennis, just tell them lines. three major wisconsin antiabortion groups have endorsed kelly, who said he makes no promises how he'd rule on that or any issue. our endorsement is based on his judicial philosophy. codman of wisconsin right to life, said her movement is working hard to elect kelly. there is more at stake in this election, then ever before in our state, wisconsin is one of 14 states that directly elect supreme

court justices at the ballot box in elections that are technically non partisan, but practically anything but this election is the most important. in election in the country in the year, 2023 because wisconsin is the tipping point state for presidential elections. wikler leads the wisconsin democratic party, which has invested millions into the race for protests awaits whoever is elected april 4th will serve in 20 24th presidential race, 2028 2030 to the wisconsin capitol here has been the political epicenter of one battle after another for the last two decades . the supreme court race is no exception. whichever side wins will hold a 423 majority on the supreme court with abortion legislation and litigation likely to come before the high court. it is driving both sides of this issue. election day is april 4th. but early voting is already underway. jeff zeleny, cnn madison, wisconsin. this weekend, we will see the beginning of the end of logan

roy. the hbo series succession will kick off its fourth and final season on sunday. and the show is leading man is, of course, the actor brian cox in his new book, it's called putting the rabbit in the hat, he writes this quote i would challenge oceans in pursuit of the reason why, why be an actor and on occasion i would get severely drenched unquote. i'm still trying to decode what that means. but, brian, we appreciate you after decades of mostly supporting roles or smaller projects. it is his work as logan roy in succession that is vaulted cox into the a list spotlight, complete with multiple golden globe and emmy nominations. i'll see you in speaking, anderson sat down with him in dubai. everything i tried to do. people turn against me. 100 ft. tall, you've said it can be almost distressingly easy to play. logan roy, your character

in the hbo series succession. you've said if logan met me, he wouldn't stand me for two minutes. just explain where we're at with logan. roy logan is a man of very few words. and i am not a man of very few words. in part i used for as you can witness. even now, i used far too many words. which is not always happened. but it's also because you know, i'm in love with language. logan is, um, isn't throw up. he's she's really unhappy, man. ah his problem. this would be much easier if you didn't love his children. that's his problem. that's his achilles heel. if he loves his children, so that's always been the difficulty of dealing with these children who are and it's again. it's a satire. it's such a reflection of our life at the moment that sense of entitlement that those kids have no blogging doesn't feel that because for logan and this is what's so important and people going and competitive. it's like in there like the. in

the murdoch. so they're like the trump sort of like the black family and you go now the big difference between logan and all those guys is he self made. he didn't inherit anything. it all came from nothing and it came through disillusion. and so i see. his background is one of meant tremendous disillusion. we consider at least a call. was he apologizing? did he ask? i mean, if you were to call, then i guess we would see i don't think you're going to tell me what's going to happen in serious for, but everybody wants to know. so what happens to brian cox in syria's four oh, i go on, you know, i just continue on in my and my misanthropic self have you beat. dealing with the fallout of episode three when i told them to make their own pile as well as my last instruction. normally the but i do say make

your own effort pile. so that's you know where we've got, and there's a lot of ramifications from that, and season four will deal with those ramifications, and that's all i can say on that subject. because i have signed endless gonna love it. i think you will love it. i think you will love it. i think you know, i think it's going to be extremely surprising and probably quite excited position. are you loving? it always loved it and let's face it. i'm playing a leading role in the best series in television. i mean, it doesn't get better than that. i mean, why what's there not to love, you know, i mean, it's been a great opportunity for me and my age, you know, i mean, i've been people used to say, you know, brian all over the long haul for you. they used to say that to me, that was the order right? it's going to be the long yoga. i didn't know i

was going to be this long. and yes, the final season of succession is available for streaming starting march, 26th on hbo, max and disclosure warner brothers. discovery is the parent company of hbo, max and cnn. now gisele bunch in is opening up about the end of her marriage to american football star tom brady. she's comparing it to a quote, death and rebirth as she appeared in vanity fair magazine and the fashion model, says media reports that she wanted a divorce because brady backed out of retirement to play. football again. aren't true, munchen says. this quote when i was 26 years old, and he was 29 years old we met. we wanted a family. we wanted things together. and as time goes by, we realized that we just wanted different things. and now we have a choice to make. that doesn't mean you don't love a person she goes on to say to be authentic and truly live the life that you want to live. you have to have somebody who can meet you in the middle.
