6:01 am
investigations live tonight at nine. good morning to you. although a sad one. in many ways, i'm jim sciutto sad because it's happened once again . young lives ended in an act of gun violence. the victims were 39 year old children and three teachers at a private christian elementary school in nashville, tennessee. police are calling this a calculated and planned attack. this morning. we are learning new details about the shooting do surveillance video shows the suspect identified as 28 year old audrey hale, shooting through glass doors as you see there. violence lasted roughly 14 minutes before two officers confronted shot and killed hail, the mayor of nashville told cnn this morning. it is time for the federal government to act on gun control. the public is gonna. go
6:02 am
back to understand our questioning why we have so few restrictions on guns, particularly assault level type guns that guns and gunfire, the number one cause of death with them. children and we really can't tolerate that anymore. we owe it to the parents, everybody that's attending every vigil in nashville. feels that there needs to be a public response to this kind of tragedy and to say enough is enough. the shooter had three weapons. more weapons found at their home. cnn's carlosrez is in nashville this morning. tell us first, carlos about what we're learning this morning about how much planning went into the shooting. while jim good morning. so according to the chief of police out here, we are expected to get a look at some of the body cam video from the officers that responded to the site of this school shooting. the chief of police also said we should be
6:03 am
learning a little bit more about the other sites that the 28 year old shooter plan to visit after opening fire inside of this private christian school. according to authorities, the 28 year old was ready for a confrontation with police from the get go, according to investigators. she had several rounds of ammunition. she had planned out this entire attack, according to some writings and statements that authorities are attributing to her. they say that she knew exactly what she was doing. she laid out this attack. she knew the entry points. to this school, and so we're expected to learn a little bit more about some outstanding questions in this investigation . now overnight. we also learned about a direct message dm that was set by the 28 year old shooter to a former basketball teammate ever, ever. rihanna patton tells us that she received this d. m. shortly before the shooting yesterday morning. it reads. quote one day
6:04 am
this will make more sense i've left behind more than enough evidence behind. but something bad is about to happen now. patton says that she received that message a little bit before 10 o'clock in the morning and that she called authorities right around the time the shooting happened, but according to her and officer did not show up to her house until 3 30 in the afternoon. and so that is one of the questions that remain on i answered out here is why officers perhaps did not show up to her house a little bit sooner. the chief of police was on cbs this morning and provided a little bit more information on where the investigation stands right now. the investigation is still ongoing into this whole incident, but what detectives have said so far is there there's possibly some resentment for having a go to that school. that's a connection with that family. we have a booklet that shows of the exactly what she
6:05 am
had planned to do. we have maps. that showed the entry point into the school. the weapons there was going to be used the clothing that she was going to wear. she had drawn it up almost like a cartoon character. it was exactly what she had on, uh, during this incident. alright so late last night, authorities here in nashville released surveillance video from inside of the school. the video is about two minutes and length, and it shows the shooter essentially making her way inside of the school. you can see that video. there. she shoots through a glass door is able to crawl in and then is seen walking through the hallway of this school. the gun. the shooter rather spend some time in one office and then seems to be walking down a hall. at one point, she passes by what believe what appears to be rather like the children's ministry authorities out here,
6:06 am
jen tell us that the six people that were shot word of were not targeted. it appears that they just happened at random. and so we believe that some of this encounter may have played out in the hallways of the school, considering that the surveillance video as you can see there. the alarm's going off show this 28 year old shooter, pointing that gun right there as she walked inside of the school gym. walking not running seem to have the run of the place. carlos suarez. thanks so much. this part is always hard because you get to learn more about the victims. other shooting here. six of them all. three of the students were just nine years old. there is the face of one of them. halle scruggs. the images from her from 1920 19. she was the daughter of the lead pastor. covenant presbyterian church, which was affiliated with the school. the other two children, their names evelyn house and
6:07 am
william kinney. the adult victims 61 year old cynthia peak . the other two adult victims were school employees. 60 year old catherine koonce was the head of the school might kill 61 year old. he worked as a constituency custodian there. those are the faces of the victims of this shooting. all the facts are simple. they're sad and familiar. 39 year olds are dead killed in their school guns are now the leading cause of death among children in this country. this, according to the cdc. the details vary from shting to shooting a locked side glass door that was shot out in this case. the results do not powerful weapons, swift and violent loss of life. when i picked my daughter up from school yesterday, i wondered if the same could happen there. maybe some of you wondered the same as well. gop senator john cornyn, a key negotiator on the gun safety package passed in the last congress said on monday. he does not believe anymore.
6:08 am
legislation will move in the next two years. i would say we've gone about as far as we can go, he said. this morning, president biden is calling on lawmakers to keep trying. we have to do more to stop gun violence. it's ripping our communities apart, ripping the soulless nation, the very soul of the nation. and we have to do more to protect our school so they aren't turned into prisons. you know the shooter? in this situation reportedly had to assault weapons and a pistol to make a 47. so i call on congress again to pass my assault weapons ban. joining us now cnn, senior white house correspondent mj lee and cnn congressional correspondent lauren fox, mj the president knows the math here. he doesn't have the votes to pass legislation at least as far as we know. where does he go from here? are those just words yesterday? or is there possible progress? well jim, first and foremost, i should say the
6:09 am
president is, of course, joining other americans in mourning what happened yesterday he has ordered flags here at the white house and other federal buildings to be flown at half staff until friday at sundown. you know, yesterday when the president was initially briefed about the shooting, i was told that when he learned that six people had been killed and that among the victims were children that he had quite of visceral and visible reaction to this. news and we heard him say that what happened yesterday? a shooting like yesterday is every american family's nightmare now we also heard him immediately and again call for congress to enact an assault weapons ban, which i think as you noted, a lot of folks here in washington would say there simply is no path to get that done. but i think there are two things that this president would note and one is that there was once an assault weapons ban in this country. it expired in 2004. so we've heard him argue before
6:10 am
that this is possible in washington. i think the second thing that he would bring up is that a lot of folks said that the math legislatively was simply impossible after the you baldy shooting as well. but then we did see lawmakers come together and pass on a bipartisan basis, the first gun safety legislation that the country three had seen in several decades. i think his argument for right now even though he is very aware of the political realities would be that if there is a political will that sometimes these changes are very much possible in washington. so lauren, tell us what the reality is. on the hill. you heard senator john cornyn's comments. he has been a key negotiator on this. he says they can't get anywhere. is he right? yeah. i mean, i think, in part the fact that a bipartisan bill did pass last summer really does make this more difficult because lawmakers came to the table. they really tried to work through what was possible after the eovaldi elementary school shooting last year, and they
6:11 am
came up with some modest reforms , and many republicans argued that was significant that they had given a lot and democrats argued they'd given up a lot in those negotiations to get something through congress. i think a couple of things that make this more difficult. today than it was last summer also is the fact that house republicans are now in charge in the house of representatives. that means that it is up to a republican speaker kevin mccarthy to decide what comes to the floor. and i would just note that he has a very, very far right conference . in fact, some of his members where you know, a r 15 rifle pins on their suit jackets, and i think that that is just the reality of where things stand in congress, even though there is a democratic controlled senate. and the weapons used here are style weapons. lauren fox on the hill. mj lee at the white house. thanks so much for both of you. tennessee is one of 25 states in
6:12 am
this country that allows anyone over 21 to carry a concealed weapon without a permit. lawmakers in the state are considering several pieces of legislation that would even further loosened restrictions on firearms. lawmakers have introduced a bill that would allow all residents from age 18 to carry handguns without permits, a proposal that would allow residents to openly carry any firearm including shotguns and ar 15 style rifles, like those used in the shooting without a permit. as well. where is this conversation? go from here. joining me now? russ pulley. he is a member of the nashville metropolitan council. thanks so much for taking the time this morning. thank you. first i wonder if we could talk about the state of the community right now. you were at the church yesterday as parents were reunited with their children. those are the lucky ones. there are three sets of parents the day who will never see their children alive again. can you describe the heartache? it was a
6:13 am
very emotional day. um as you can imagine. ah, when i first got the call, i went to the scene and communicated with the police officers who were there and then immediately made my way to the church where the children were being brought to reunite with their parents. that was fairly deliberate process. so the children were in the fellowship hall below the sanctuary where the parents were being told to arrive. uh you know, it was pretty amazing scene there. the teachers were doing what they do. they were teaching their kids and if you went in the fellowship hall, you would think there were school going on. the kids were reacting just like it was. a makeshift school room. ah and the parents . obviously it was a different emotion up there as they waited to reunite there. with the chip killed with the children from
6:14 am
such a tragic event. um so it was very deliberate and systematic to make sure that was done properly. yeah credit the police department in the school for doing that. well um, yeah, but it was very emotional as you can well, imagine in in the staff after the children left. they certainly let their emotions go at that point as well. i can only imagine. yesterday you noted that this school prepared for this kind of event with an active shooter drills as so many schools across the country do yet we saw in 14 minutes that the shooter killed six people. does that demonstrate to you to the community that such drills and even what was a courageous law enforcement response here? they went in, they confronted the shooter. are not sufficient to prevent something like this. um prevent. ah, i would say. it's in my opinion, it is tough to
6:15 am
prevent something like this entirely when somebody is of that mindset, i will say that in 14 minutes uh, if without these protocols that were enacted at that school, there would have been much greater loss of life. so credit the school for their reaction. credit the principle for walking into the fire instead of away from it. i'm sure that saved lives as well. all coupled with the police response. this is of no comfort to those who really lost family members in that in that tragic situation, but those things did , uh, save lives of people that ordinarily wouldn't have. you spent 36 years in law enforcement. i've interviewed law enforcement. officials from around the country, red states and blue for years, and they say that more guns make their jobs harder. in the state of tennessee that what's currently being considered in legislatures to loosen rather than to even
6:16 am
hold gun laws where they stand today. uh do you think there needs to be a pause on that? well you know, it's kind of hard for me to go down to policy path right now. you know, i'm talking to the families every hour and i'm here to support them. i'm happy to have that conversation with you in a few days. but right now, you know, my role is to support these families and i'm going to stay in that lane. i understand that, but our families talking about those kinds of changes. there's an appetite among the families in this school. they're the ones whose children survived this and then the other the others who did not for change, so that this doesn't happen in another school. sure sure. and i and i intend to have those kinds of conversations right now. emotions are raw, and i'm not hearing those things. i'm hearing respect are grieving process. that's what language i'm hearing from the families at
6:17 am
this point. when you're ready to discuss that we will have you back, russ police. thanks for joining us this morning. i'm happy to do that. thank you so much, very happy to do that. coming up. next. we do have new reporting this hour as u. s officials tell me that intelligence gathering around ukraine has been impacted. by changes made after a russian aircraft forced down an american drone earlier this month. we'll have details coming up plus former president donald trump once again. attacking the manhattan district attorney. the grand jury in new york makes no move yet after hearing from another witness on monday. and the latest round of layoffs from a major american company. disney is beginning its first of three rounds of layoffs this week. how that fits into the bigger jobs picture, which was made pretty healthy. hmm guys work way back when. feel free last teams with

between a russian jet in a us drone that forced the drone to crash into the black seat. the u. s is now flying at surveillance drones farther south and at higher altitudes over the black sea, and a senior u. s. military official tells me that decision quote definitely limits our ability to gather intelligence. related to the war in ukraine when we first reported the new routes, one u. s official told cnn. they were part of an effort to avoid being too provocative. the biden ministrations wants to avoid any incident that could escalate into a direct conflict with russian forces were told the drone flights will continue this way for the time being. the ukrainian military says that russia fired 15 combat drones overnight and ukrainian air defenses were able to destroy 14 of them. this comes as more military help has just arrived in ukraine in the form of three leopard tanks donated by portugal and the first british battle tanks have also made it to the country, along with other western made armored vehicles.
6:23 am
cnn senior international correspondent david mckenzie joins us now live from ukraine. so david is more military aid arrives. president zelensky he visited the front lines. i wonder you what you could tell us about the visit and how ukrainian forces are receiving all this new equipment. well jim. certainly this has been a grand tour somewhat. our president zelensky very significant. i think today he was in sumi in the far north. visiting troops, visiting wounded troops and handing out medals and rallying the troops. he's done this now. over the last several days, jim he was in zepa region before that, in mahmoud. all right on the front lines in the east, and you have to feel that this is significant and maybe signaling possibly bigger things to come from the ukrainian military. of course, everyone is wondering whether this counter offensive that has been talked about may happen in the coming weeks or evenonths , and you're right. there was a
6:24 am
strike overnight by shahid drones, those iranian drones on the capital cave. a pretty substantial attempted strike the majority of those drones were taken down by a defense, said the ukrainian. so that's good news from the capital's point of view, of course, and yes, these significant military assets are now arriving in the country. you have the leopard tanks coming in dribs and drabs. also the challenger, uk tank this is significant now whether they can come in quickly enough for the ukrainians is a different story , but just to see them here and the ukrainians, obviously jim advertising the fact that they are in country is certainly significant. we've spent time with volunteer groups, battalions, training, getting ready for what we believe might be this counter offensive when all these assets are in place. then the question is, will ukraine striking at which part of this fast? front line, jim no question. we're watching very

smart as little robots, a hate a little robot and goodbye to scooping the smart appliance that helps without asking all solomon in new york and this this is cnn. new york grand jury investigating the hush money case against former president trump is set to meet again tomorrow after hearing from another key witness, the man you see being driven away right there. david pecker, former publisher of the national
6:30 am
enquirer, he faced the grand jury for a second time yesterday . we don't know where things stand about timing or decision on a potential indictment of trump cnn's kara scannell. has been following the story for us, karen tell us the importance of david pecker. and do we have a sense of why he was brought back to the grand jury. well good morning. jamie david picker is where this hush media all started right. he has a long relationship with former president donald trump, and also a lot of experience with these so called catch and kill deals agent for daniel's about a month before the 2016 election reached out to me, where david pecker was the chairman, and then david pecker reached out to michael cohen because daniels wanted to go public with her story now. two weeks have passed in this period and michael cohen had not finalized the deal. david pecker reached out to him according to court documents, and urged him to finalize the deal, saying quote or it could look awfully bad for everyone. so david pecker, certainly at the center
6:31 am
of this deal in this arrangement, as we've seen, they brought in many witnesses to provide testimony last week was the last time the grand jury heard testimony that was with bob costello, a trump witness. so this is the da's office, putting on a strong witness here to send another message who can really talk about how this deal started the relationship with trump the timing issues here in the urgency to get this deal done? pecker has immunity both when he testified as part of the federal investigation that led to the criminal charges against michael cohen and also a testimony for he also has immunity for his testimony. in this case he was before the grand jury for about an hour yesterday. that grand jury is scheduled again to meet tomorrow. jim we know you'll be there. kara scannell. thanks so much. a new way of cheating. that's how former president donald trump is describing the manhattan district attorney's hush money investigation, extending his baseless election rigging claims to include now the legal battles he continues to face. i don't know whether it
6:32 am
helps or hurts. i can tell you in my opinion. it's a new way of cheating on elections. it's called election interference. what they're doing is if they can't win at the ballot box because i'm leading everybody by a lot in the polls for every republican, frankly and every democrat by a lot, including biden by a lot, and they can't beat you that way. they're going to do this kind of stuff. joining me now cnn political commentatoeff duan, former republican lieutenant governor of georgia, and karen finney, democratic strategist. good to have you both on this morning, jeff, if i could be begin with you there, the president did a lot of untrue things there. but one thing, he said, is right and he is leading in national polls in state polls. some of the some of the races are tighter. this is despite continuing to lie about the 2020 election. despite praising the january 6th rioters at his most recent rally and attacks on the new york prosecutor here, does he have the momentum here is in your view, is it his nomination to lose? well when i watched that
6:33 am
interview this morning, i just couldn't help. but think about the snake oil salesmen coming back into town, right? he showed back up and he's dusted off the playbook from 2020, which just says hey, so as many seeds of doubt as you possibly can, but i still don't think i can't figure out how that helps him win. it helps him justify a loss. i think donald trump has a suburbs problem, right. he's going to have his 30% 35% based in the rural areas of the country. that come out and vote for him. but he still has to convince the suburbs and you know us here in georgia we saw that played out brian kemp convinced the suburbs to vote for him. herschel walker didn't convince the suburbs to vote for him and he lost so i still think he's got. he's got some headwinds in front of them. karen finney when you speak to democratic party strategists is trump considered their most likely opponent in 2024, perhaps a corollary question. is that the opponent they want ah, well , i think my party has learned not to try to pick opponents just asked, you know, with ergo
6:34 am
brown reagan and those who thought there was no chance trump would win the first time around. but more importantly, sure. at this moment, it does appear that trump is the front runner. it does appear if you look at what's happening in the republican party base when you haort of you have never trumpers you have maybe trumpers , and then you have always trumpers and the sort of always trumpers. they have very swiftly come to trump's dense along with much of the conservative media infrastructure, which stands a signal to the other 2024 candidates and their potential supporters that he has a very strong base of support that is vocal that will come to his rescue if they think he's being mistreated, and the other thing that we're seeing, obviously within the democrats are looking at is the way in which the republican party, you have to look at the republican members of congress willing to basically abused their power to try to subvert democracy and attack a duly elected attorney
6:35 am
general in the district attorney rather in new york city, and that ultimately we think it's going to be bad, long term for the brand of the republican party and just remind voters why they didn't vote for trump and why they voted for biden. jeff duncan, we will often ask whether these investigations help or hurt and you heard hannity asked trump that question as well. his nomination . i wonder, because we have this other dynamic here, and that is an intraparty fight between trump and desantis and trump taking very direct aim at desantis. i want to play one of his comments yesterday regarding his support for him in the past. have a listen. i got him the nomination. by the way, i could have never gotten the nomination . he would be working in either a pizza parlor place or a law office right now, okay, and it wouldn't be very hassle. it's about loyalty. it is to me. does that kind of attack hurt? desantis did you see? and you see, potentially dynamic here, where the two of them take each
6:36 am
other down to some degree and gives a path potential path to an alternative to desantis and trump. yeah the answer the first part of the question. i think that the manhattan case probably gives a slight tailwind to donald trump because even democrats and some will will kind of see through the partisan this of manhattan. but then you've got fulton county and other doj investigations that are serious and, you know, look. three out of four. democrats don't want joe biden to run a similar percentage. don't really want donald trump to run, so i do think there is a lane out. their history shows us that things should start solidifying by now, but this is going to be like no other election cycle. i think somebody like ron desantis and nikki haley or others could could really start to rise up and put forward looking policies on the on the table. right. most americans are waking up today, scared to death of the economy, scared to death of losing their job scared of their community safety international issues. those are real issues out there that i think americans are going to start paying attention to between now and 2024. karen finney. do you wonder privately hoped privately that there is a
6:37 am
path for an alternative democratic candidate in 2024. no i am 100% behind joe biden and kamala harris. look at the contrast today. president biden is in north carolina, talking about investing in our country talking about bringing manufacturing jobs back, and i think americans appreciate the efforts of biden and democrats to lower their costs versus again the contrast with republicans, i think the other challenge again that republicans in this 2024 contest is going to be joe biden and kamala harris have an excellent record to run on. they're trying to lower costs, creating jobs, bringing us out of the chaos of the trump presidency and covid trying to rebuild our alliances around the world. it's a very strong case to run on. jeff duncan. karen finney. good to have you both on i think probably talk about this one is once or twice again in the common couple of years. we appreciate it. thanks and don't miss it. cnn primetime inside the trump investigations. it

they're anything but predictable , especially when you have clients like ours. when i consider payroll providers from my business, i looked for a solution that fit into my busy schedule. payroll running payroll, fast and easy so i can spend extra time with these guys payroll .com slash switch and get up to six months free and find out what makes us different because small business is our business. don't don't don't wow . houses is about making money. things need to be elevated. we're spending way more money than we should like. it's my fault series thursday at nine thursdays on hdtv. this morning. israel's largest labor union is threatening another major strike if prime minister benjamin netanyahu revives plans to overhaul the judicial judicial system. netanyahu was forced to back off those plans yesterday as thousands of israelis protested, and many went on strike as well. netanyahu announced he would delay votes
6:43 am
on the overall to allow time for debate. but the prime minister did make it clear the pause is only temporary. gold is in jerusalem. so i would ask to. i suppose we call this a cease fire, not a peace here so that people are going back to work. but for how long? well i mean, benjamin netanyahu said this was a temporary pause, and he vowed that this overhaul will be going through in some form or another once the next parliament session comes into session that happens at the end of april, and it runs to the end of july. we're also hearing from his right wing ministers, including national security minister itamar bank there who was saying that netanyahu promised him that if the reforms don't go through with negotiations, they will be pushed forward as they currently stand, which would give the israeli parliament and therefore the politicians in power. unprecedented control over the supreme court. the opposition has welcomed this temporary pause because they have been calling now for months for a halt to the legislation that
6:44 am
they could have actual negotiations over this. there are reports that negotiating teams are being formed amongst the coalition as well as the opposition teams to meet at the israeli president isaac herzog's residents where he will act as mediator. but of course if they plan to bring this forward in the next parliamentary session, that's only a few weeks from now there's passover in between. that's not a lot. of time to get these negotiations done, and then will people accept those compromise reforms? and then also, the question is the protesters, the protesters who have been taking to the streets who still have a lot of energy, and a lot of organizational power behind them, they vowed to continue. there's more protests planned for today. more protests planned for later this week. they essentially do not believe benjamin netanyahu when he says that there will be a break when he says that he wants to heal the divisiveness that he wants to prevent a civil war. they say that they will continue their protests continue. taking to the streets until these reforms are completely taken off the table. another thing to keep in mind here jim is that last night was the first time we saw the protesters who support the reforms who support benjamin
6:45 am
netanyahu take to the streets and i feel so that energy as well is only growing, jim that's gold in jerusalem. thanks so much here with me now to discuss former us impasse suited israel . dan shapiro, ambassador. thanks for taking the time this morning. could be with you, jim. you joining us from tele? viv you're right in the middle of all this. you hear netanyahu, saying that these changes will go through one way or another. is there a compromise here? that would satisfy the protesters, but also keep netanyahu's coalition together as well. it's very hard to find that compromise. there is a compromise that probably 75 or 80% of his israelis could accept . there are even among the protesters, some who acknowledge that the supreme court may have arrogated to itself more power than it should have. for that least, there's a real reason to try to re balance the power
6:46 am
between the court and the executive branch over that's as it's unfolded over the last number of years, but not the version that netanyahu had proposed, which would have said intially rendered the supreme court neutralized and given all the power to one branch of government. so there is a compromise version, but not one that will satisfy both the far right of the senate now coalition and perhaps to deal with his own legal problems, and the concerns of the protesters have raised about one branch of government with all the power i mean, you mentioned his legal problems, and that, of course, is has been an issue here from the beginning because he would stand to benefit. from these changes in his own corruption investigation, is he therefore not the man, not the israeli leader to push through such controversial changes. well it's hard to think of a leader that would come with a clean slate, uh and or without a clean slate , therefore, someone who could
6:47 am
benefit personally, uh, from these very significant structural changes in the israeli democracy and not have that be viewed with great suspicion, and that has been one of the critiques of the protesters, but not the only one. they worry because israel doesn't have the constitution that guarantees fundamental personal rights. they worry that there isn't a black funeral legislature or federal system where presidential veto or any of the checks and balances were used to so even putting aside the prime minister circumstances there's a lot that could be lost . if these reforms go through times has a long piece today that describes a pressure campaign that the biden administration has been doing. partially in public but largely in private to netanyahu and other israeli officials making the case that if you go through with this, it will damage israel's reputation as a democracy is alone. democracy in the middle east. does that argument move the israeli prime minister? i think it did. prime
6:48 am
minister netanyahu had a phone call with president biden a little over a week ago, and by all accounts, president biden, who is an old friend of the prime ministers, and certainly a loyal supporter of israel was very clear and probably pretty blunt that what's at stake here is indeed israel's reputation as a democracy with an independent judiciary and even israel's security and its economy, both of which israeli leaders, security officials and business layers called into question if these reforms went through and to add all of that is the strain that would put on the uss relationship because the u. s and israel are the, uh, bound by their common democratic values and put that very clearly it was repeated repeated over and over again by other officials, but i think that may just be a dry run for another round, and president biden is going to have to reiterate that message again and again. just very quickly. the threat of iran looms over all this as well as israel's need
6:49 am
for the u. s very much on its side in the event of worsening escalation with iran. how influential is that? and how immediate the threat is that considered by israeli officials you speak with you know, it's hard to imagine president biden not being there for israel, and it's time to meet with iran, but there is a need to coordinate strategy. uh and you want to be on the same page with your ally as your coordinated that that strategy that's not a great time to see the fundamentals of the relationship frame. ambassador dan shapiro. good to have you on this morning. thanks so much for taking the time. thank you. disney has begun the first round of major layoffs. why the company's cutting thousands of jobs? what this says about the bigger picture in the u. s labor market. if you have diabetes, it's important to have confidence in the nutritional
