cnn newsroom. it was like no notice. we didn't know what was happening. city is gone, but we will resilient. and we're gonna come back. we're going to come back strong. unfortunately coming up here in the upcoming 24 hours we are expecting to deal with the same threats over the same areas. the thugs and criminals who are corrupting our justice system will be defeated , discredited and totally disgraced. i don't believe that bragg would be doing this if donald trump were not running for president. really prime minister benjamin netanyahu, firing his own defense minister who is a member of his own political party with these people are saying is they care about democracy? i think it shows the vitality vibrancy of israel's democracy. live from london. this is cnn newsroom with max foster and bianca

nobilo. monday march 27th nine am here in london. 11 am in israel were just a short time ago, the country's largest union called for and historic general strike. universities are also on strike today. these moves after prime minister benjamin netanyahu fired his defense minister over his opposition to controversial plans for judicial overhaul. that also sparked spontaneous protests on the streets of tele viv late on sunday night. thousands turned out in the city as calls grow for netanyahu to delay plans for judicial reforms will head now to jerusalem and cnn's had asked gold with the latest hearing. now the airport is closed as well. it feels like the country's coming to a standstill. the country is coming to a screeching halt max over these judicial reforms we've already experienced more than 12 weeks of regular protests, but it really feels as though today it is completely coming to a head just a couple hours ago in about an hour ago,

the largest union in israel, which by itself could bring the country to a halt. it's a union that represents everything from teachers to business workers to factory workers. they announced an immediate general strike and then the airport. the one main airport for israel announced their union announced an immediate halt to takeoff landings as we understand, are still going to take place, especially of course of flights are in the air. but all takeoffs are immediately halted. now we know from people who are at the airport right now. it's a bit chaotic. people are still trying to figure out exactly what is happening. boardings that we're in the process have suddenly been stopped. we spoke to a spokesperson for the israeli airport authorities saying that adds of right now all takeoffs are halted. they did expect her on 70,000 total passengers. today, about half of them were supposed to be arriving. about half of them were supposed to be departing, but this literally brings the entire country to a halt. the last time the airport was closed, max was during war. when israel and hamas militants in gaza engaged in that about 10

11 day war in 2021, so rockets were flying in the air. that's why the airport was closed. this is the next time the airport was closed, and it's in response to this massive judicial overhaul. of course, this all started on saturday evening when the defense minister yoav galant, dared to make a striking speech calling for a halt to this controversial judicial overhaul that would place immense power in the hands of the israeli parliament, allowing them to overturn supreme court decisions, saying that the divisiveness over this reform was creating a tangible and credible threat to israeli security 24 hours later, he is fired by benjamin netanyahu. gallant the minister of defense , was the first minister to come out against these reforms calling to halt of course, as defense minister. he is very high ranking and then after that firing, we saw all those those spontaneous protests while protests have been going on. for now, more than 12 weeks, the protest last night they felt different. they felt more angry . they felt a little bit more violent. they went late in into the night this morning we heard from the israeli president isaac

herzog immediately calling for a halt. we heard from the jewish agency immediate calling for a halt. we heard from actually some other ministers in benjamin netanyahu's own government, calling for at least a freeze to the legislation. we have not yet heard from benjamin netanyahu himself. there were reports he was going to make a speech in the last hour or so that he was going to announce a free civil legislation. still we have not heard anything. meanwhile the country is in chaos. it's possible that the entire country is going to grind to a halt. with this general strike. schools could go and strike businesses could be on strike. you know, you might not be able to go to the shops day and of course, if you have a flight plan to leave today. well, you're not going to be leaving israel anytime soon, max. just explain where the pressure is coming from for him to continue pushing for these reforms and why it's so difficult for him to climb down from this position. well it does seem as though and we are seeing some reports that even some of those stall warp for the pressure points that were within his own government may now also be agreeing it is time to stop. much of this pressure was coming from the

right wing flanks of his government. these were the settler leaders. these were the ultra orthodox who have their own reasons for wanting to push forward with these reforms. but keep in mind. benjamin netanyahu has his own reasons for wanting to push forward with these reforms. he has denied over and over again that this massive judicial overhaul has anything to do with his own ongoing corruption trial. but when you just look at the bare facts if the israeli government will have more power over selecting judges if the israeli government the politicians in power would have more power in being able to potentially overturn high court decisions. that might have an effect on somebody's own corruption trial. now again, he has denied this over and over again. he has denied the charges against him, but we still have not heard from benjamin netanyahu. but we are hearing reports that even some of these far right wing members of his government that'll all smotrycz and the like are now agreeing that it may be time to at least freeze legislation doesn't this doesn't mean it's going to completely stop? it doesn't mean that reforms of some kind will not move forward because people do say reforms may be needed. but perhaps now we will finally see some sort. we have

compromised reform going forward , max. okay, we'll stay with you for any updates, had asked thanks for joining us from jerusalem. meanwhile millions of people across several states in the southeastern us are under severe weather threats as a storm system that's already left behind a deadly child destruction moves east in georgia. the governor issued a state of emergency after a large tornado struck a town about an hour southwest of atlanta on sunday. at least three people were injured. dozens of homes were destroyed and as many as 100. were damaged over the weekend, at least 10 confirmed. tornado struck mississippi, alabama and tennessee, killing 26 people. the city of rolling fork, mississippi was almost completely flattened by one of those powerful tornadoes. president biden approved a disaster declaration for parts of mississippi to get federal funds flowing quickly to the areas most in need. one survivor in rolling fork who lost everything in the storm tells cnn. he's just grateful to be alive. not being sucked out.

that's a blessing because i could feel my body sleeping coming all out. friday, isn't it? just to be able to walk away from this. home worry about nothing else. you know, just feel blessed to still be alive. the area is still mostly without power and without the businesses that provide basic necessities. the police and fire department facilities were all destroyed. here's what the mayor of rolling fork had to say. the city of roland fork will come back. bigger. and better. than ever before. with all of those who were unaccounted for on saturday now located safely. the effort is entirely on the clean up here, and there is a lot of it to be done. there's very little of this community that was untouched by the storm that ripped through here on friday night, but one of the things that really stood out to our crew here is just how everyone

is chipping in to help. it's something that the governor talked about earlier when he spoke to the media. what we've seen. over the last 36 hours in mississippi, on the one hand, has been heartbreaking to see the loss and devastation of these communities, but on the other hand has been inspiring and gives me great reason for optimism and, quite frankly, makes me proud to be a mississippi and because mississippians have done what mississippians do in times of tragedy in times of crisis they stand up and they show up part of what's giving us a better understanding of the scope of this devastation is the aerial footage that we've seen. it shows just how widespread this damage is, and gives an indication of how much time it will take to clean up. nick valencia, cnn. rolling fork, mississippi. let's get more on where the storms are heading, then from cnn meteorologist pretty rats. unfortunately the same areas are going to get him

to once again. we've been dealing with it all through the evening, and it will continue through the overnight and early morning hours. many hail reports as well as wind and, yes, tornado reports over the last 24 hours, same areas getting hit once again areas highlighted in red alexandria, louisiana, back into jackson, mississippi montgomery, alabama. these are areas that are most vulnerable for long lived tornadoes. ef three or stronger with winds guesting over 100 mph in some sense large hail to very large. hail we're talking golf ball size. hail, if not larger, we've already had hail reports of two inches and this will extend through georgia back up into the carolinas through the overnight hours, areas highlighted in yellow meaning it's not going to be as strong but we're still dealing with the same threats wind inhale going to be our biggest concerns. this rides up into tomorrow. so areas highlighted in yellow savannah, georgia back into albany up into parts of south carolina. large hail, damaging winds main

threats going into your monday, but a tornado or two cannot be ruled out heavy rain. also another big concern is this true? trains over the same areas pay attention to the timeframe here sunday night into monday morning, pushing through alabama into central georgia up into the carolinas again, it starts to weaken. we lose that tornado threat but holding on to the threat of damaging winds and large hail. areas from just south of birmingham and atlanta , picking up 2 to 4 more inches of rain through monday. that's these areas highlighted in orange. isolated higher amounts are definitely possible so that flash flood threat continues on through the overnight and early tomorrow morning make in georgia back into montgomery areas highlighted in red again where you're most vulnerable, but this extends back into parts of mississippi up into the carolinas through monday morning , so remember if you come across the roadway and water turn around, find around. you just don't know how deep that water is back to you. thank you separately now in the coming hours of manhattan grand jury is

expected to continue its investigation into former u. s. president donald trump. they're looking into whether trump falsified business records to cover up hush payments for an alleged affair with an adult film star trump took to social media to lay into manhattan district attorney alvin bragg, the man leading the hush money probe. and so did other republican lawmakers. we're sick and tired of meddling in federal elections, and i don't believe that bragg would be doing this. if donald trump were not running for president, and that's something that we would like to ask mr bragg as well. would you be doing this if he weren't a declared candidate for president for president, knighted states? if so, if this is the reason you're doing then this is a political investigation, and we again desperately want to keep ah, you know, the department of justice from meddling in presidential elections. trump railed against his legal battles at a rally over the weekend,

accusing democrats of trying to sully his name and prevent him from getting back to the white house. prosecutorial misconduct is their new tool, and they are willing to use it at levels never seen before. in our country. we've had it, but we've never had it like this. we must stop them, and we must not allow them. to go through another election, where they have yet another. tool in their tool kit. trump also predicted quote, potential death and destruction would follow if he were to be indicted after those remarks as attorney went into damage control. i'm not his social media consultant. um i don't. i think that was an ill advised post that one of his social media people put up and he quickly took down when he realized the rhetoric in the photo that was attached to it. the double shooting at a sikh temple in sacramento, california has left two people, two men in critical condition and two

facing arrest as well, it happened is temple members were celebrating a religious event with the parade. investigators say three men got into an argument and the guns came out. two men were shot in. the third ran from the scene, but was later court. they say it appears all three men knew each other. and that was a personal dispute in philadelphia officials say they are confident that tap water is safe to drink after a chemical spill in the nearby delaware river. they say they haven't found any contamination in the city's water supply. but that hasn't calmed down residents as many rushed to buy bottled water is danny freeman has more. the message of the city of philadelphia wants to put out there is that the water here in the city is absolutely safe to drink and that it is not contaminated. at this point, it will remain safe to drink until monday night around 11 59 just before midnight, but i want to explain exactly how we got to this point. the contamination actually happened back on friday evening, there was a chemical spill in bristol township. it's

part of bucks county, which is about 20 miles north of here, and there was a chemical spill in the delaware river. and of course, the delaware river is one of the main water supply. here's to philadelphia, the city of philadelphia, out of an abundance of caution issued an alert to the residents here saying you should drink bottled water if you are concerned, although they said the risk was still very low from the beginning, but philadelphians they heeded that advice. they took that concern seriously, and they rushed supermarkets all over the city, including this one here in south philadelphia. take a listen to what one resident told us. her experience was when she tried to buy some water. we were hopeful going in because it didn't seem that chaotic. just regular sunday at the south philly but we got there were okay, i'll go to the water. i'll see what's going on. it is bare and you can see people looking at like the seltzer and the weird flavor jaws being like, okay, like maybe this will work. we bought some juice. there's water and juice. you know, like i overheard one of the workers, saying there's no more water in the store, now the manufacturing company of the product that spilled into delaware river,

it's called terenzio plc. they explained in a statement that the spill occurred because equipment failure and ultimately resulted in 8100 gallons of a latex polymer of a solution that had latex polymer in it seeping into the delaware river. they described it as a white liquid used in various consumer goods. but again, the philadelphia water department says none of that, as of now has gotten into the philadelphia water supplies to the message. still until monday night, and 59 is that the water here is safe to drink. danny freeman, cnn, philadelphia and just an hour north of philadelphia. seven people are now confirmed dead after candy factory explosion on friday. the blast happened in west redding, pennsylvania, at the factory owned by the palmer. company officials say anyone missing after explosion has now been accounted for. authorities are investigating the cause of the blast, including the possibility of a gas leak. three voters are very likely to be alive on and on a cruise ship right now. they

former branches will reopen on monday under the name of the new owners, this as federal regulators are set to testify on tuesday before the house financial services committee. about the collapse of svb and signature bank as well. cnn correspondent claire sebastian joins us on set with the very latest here, and this is you know a justifiable look at the regulators, who many say should have acted sooner to prevent this latest crisis. yes i think there's two questions right there was there enough regulation. obviously we know there was that controversial rollback of some of the dodd frank regulations are certainly on the mid size and smaller banks in 2018 under donald trump . and then there was the question of supervision. were they correctly supervised? whether regulations in place you know, appropriately applied and this is questions around things like why was silicon valley bank allowed to amass such a large proportion of treasury bonds on its balance sheet, then left it very exposed when interest rates went up and add to that the issue of those uninsured deposits silicon valley bank had

more than 90% uninsured deposits. those over a quarter of a million. on its balance sheets, and those two things together really made it very vulnerable. so questions going to be asked if the regulators representatives from the f d i c from the federal reserve and from the treasury in the senate , first on tuesday, and then in the house about how we got to this point and how to prevent it in future. they looking this week do you think because some of the nervousness seems to have gone so europe has had an interesting hour and 20 minutes so far of trade, we saw quite a big comeback at the beginning, but now it looks like certainly with deutsche bank has fallen off its highs of the day. so look a little bit of relief. this was the first weekend in three max that we didn't have a bank fail, or at least look like it was going to fail. and then, of course, the actions around silicon valley bank that buyer coming in wrapping that up to some extent, did lead to some relief. but i think this just shows that there is still a lot of evidence nous out there. the vultures are circling in these markets to look for the next week link in the banking sector and still big questions over how

it could spill over into the real economy. absolutely, claire. thank you. germany facing a nationwide transport strike right now grounding planes and halting trains as well, the departures board at munich airport told the story. with every listed flight now marked canceled two major unions representing millions of public sector employers, employees, rather called the one day strike to protest inflation and demand significant wage increases. one top union boss calls it a matter of survival. western europe has been played with labor actions lately, as rising prices have pinched the pockets of millions of workers. us president joe biden's picked to lead the federal aviation administration has withdrawn his name from nomination, a source tells cnn. phillip washington has faced blowback from republican lawmakers. he cited his marginal aviation experience and potential legal entanglements as well. the white house says they respect his decision and praised his public service record. and his qualifications. meanwhile

back to cnn newsroom i'm max foster. let me bring you up to date with the top stories this hour. israel's largest union and the country's universities are set to strike today after prime minister benjamin netanyahu fired his defense minister over his opposition to controversial plans for judicial overhaul. and the manhattan grand jury investigating donald trump's hush money payments. adult film star stormy daniels will reconvene. the district attorney is still debating charges against the former president. new york investigation is just the tip of the legal iceberg for donald trump. he could be indicted at any time. in other probes. cnn's paula reid has more on the former president's challenges. right now. former president trump is facing no fewer than four criminal investigations investigation concerning the former president's ongoing the case that seems to be putting trump in the most immediate jeopardy.

the manhattan district attorney's investigation into hush money payments porn star stormy daniels. 1000 $130,000 payments. daniels no, no involves potentially falsified business records and possible campaign finance violations, something that would have surprised trump back in 1999. nobody knows more about campaign finance than i do. the payments to daniels were facilitated by cohen in the final days of the 2016 campaign. the access hollywood tape it just come out. let you do it. you can do anything, and daniels was allegedly trying to sell her story about sleeping with trump money to stay silent. yes, um the story was coming out again. cohen trump's former fixer and personal attorney, became one of his primary antagonistic. what mr trump is he is a racist. he is a con man. and here's a cheat

, has met with the manhattan da's office 20 times that appeared before the grand jury twice to testify about a $130,000 payment to daniel's to silence her about an alleged affair with trump. president trump denies any such affair now , almost seven years later, the case may be coming to a conclusion. but while this particular investigation maybe the most imminent, legal experts say it's far from the most consequential, trump is also facing a dual pronged special counsel investigation. it is in the public interest to appoint a special counsel examining both the former president's handling of classified documents at mar-a-lago and possible obstruction to walk down. to the capital and his involvement in the events leading up to the storming of the capital. on january 6th. jack smith's case is the most important because

it's the constitutionally most significant to the country, and that's not the only investigation related to the 2020 election and its aftermath . in georgia. fulton county d a funny willis is looking into trump and his allies efforts to overturn the 2020 election. i just want to find 11,000. 780 votes. in that case, a special grand jury returned a report recommending multiple indictments and the is still decided on whether to bring charges. prosecutors here in manhattan have a deadline. the statute of limitations in this case expires in may. so it's now or never for the district attorney. read cnn, new york. california representative bro connor says he won't run for senator dianne feinstein seats. feinstein announced last month that she would not seek re election in 2024, the primary sure to be competitive and has

instead endorsing his fellow california representative. that's barbara lee. i have concluded that despite a lot of enthusiasm from bernie folks, the best place the most exciting place to action placed fit place for me to serve as a progressive is in the house of representatives, and i'm honored to be co chairing barbara lee's campaign for the senate and endorsing her today. we need a strong anti war senator, and she will play that role. lee was notably the only congress member to vote against the authorization for war in afghanistan. she's been a representative since 1998 and is part of the house democratic leadership. hamas and dancers greeted us vice president kamala harris on her arrival to ghana on sunday. she's on a week long trip to africa that will also take in zambia and tanzania, five by administration officials have visited the continent already this year, but harris,

the first black woman to serve as us vice president is the highest ranking figure by far. it's all part of a diplomatic push aimed at strengthening us ties across the region in accra , harris said the world would benefit from empowering africa's young people. when i look at what is happening on this continent. and the fact that the median age is 19 years old. and what that tells us. about the growth of opportunity. of innovation. possibilities. i see an all of that great opportunity not only for the people of this continent, but the people of the world. harris's touting us investment commitments aimed at boosting economic opportunities across the continent. another migrant tragedy at sea. at least 28 people have died after two boats sank off the coast of tunisia on sunday they were

trying to cross the mediterranean to reach italy. officials say scores are still missing from one of the wrecks. meanwhile, the italian coast guard says they've rescued more than 3000 people from 58 boats in the past 48 hours. the latest. let's go to cnn's barbie nato whose life for us in room those figures are staggering, aren't they? yeah i know they are. you know you this is just another deadly weekend in the mediterranean. the mediterranean migration trail. obviously the most deadly in the world. people die all the time. you know, these are votes. we know about a lot about sink that nobody knows about the italian coast guard, though in this incredible weekend of rescues, 58 votes 3300 people all taken to the tiny island of lampedusa. now the hot spot there, the place for migrants and refugees. there holds only 400 people. and so people are an absolutely terrific, terrific. the horrible conditions. a lot of them have been taken to the italian mainland. but italian government here is asking for europe to step in to try to do something

about the situation in tunisia right now. so often, max, we see these boats coming from libya. it's you have to go back to 2011 and the arab spring to see this many boats coming from tunisia and you know the italian government under georgia meloni , who won on an anti immigration platform is really struggling with how to handle this, max. okay barbie. thank you. so much for bringing us that update in rome sunday, election day in the caribbean nation of cuba. 470 candidates ran for the 470 seats in the national assembly, but one stood out from all the others. gonzalez now seeking to become a lawmaker, some 23 years after he was caught in a u. s. cuba custody dispute. and as he told our patrick ottman and experience taught him a lot about us cuban relations and about his own father. gonzalez walks with his wife and their daughter in his hometown of cardenas, cuba, preparing to step back into public view.

gonzalez is here to vote for himself and the other candidates for cuba's national assembly. candidates run unopposed, so he's all but guaranteed to win. it will be gonzalez's first official role since the legal battle that brought him back to cuba three years ago. early on in our interview, gonzales makes it clear the u. s. is still on his mind, i said, i'm someone the american people know, and i can help bring the american and cuban people together and not just the people, he says. governments reaching understanding and remove all the barriers between us. our country doesn't have any sanctions on the us now that he's a father himself of a two year old girl. elian says he better understands the ordeal that his own father went through during the bitter custody fight with his miami relatives, as well as the pain of all cuban families separated by political divisions. my helped me to understand my
