preventing people from from worshiping? that's the essential question. he is stronger today than he was yesterday. people in south carolina even those who don't like president trump see this is a politically motivated prosecution. good i just didn't do the job i need to do to get the ball close. live from london. this is cnn newsroom with max foster and bianca nobilo. it is probably april 7th nine am here in london three am in nashville, tennessee, where the republican controlled state legislature has voted to expel to democrats. spoke. that's justin jones, justin pearson and gloria johnson, protesting the

lack of action on gun violence last week after the nashville school shooting, jones and pearson were expelled for what republicans say was a violation of house rules. johnson will keep her seat. the two men could be reappointed or sent back to the house through special elections, and pearson are asking protesters to come back to the capital on monday. when the house reconvenes more from cnn's gary tuchman. it was a tumultuous day here on thursday at the tennessee state capitol in nashville, outside the capital, and inside the capital . there were hundreds of protesters here afraid of what might happen to three democratic legislators, and indeed what they feared did happen. the republican supermajority in the house of representatives voted to expel two of them. those two representatives expelled were justin jones. and justin pearson , accused of disorderly conduct after an incident last week. a third member, gloria johnson, was also part of it. she survived by one vote is still in the legislature, but those three

legislators said they were not being acknowledged they walked into the well of the house of representatives last week and started talking about what they wanted to see with gun reform after the horrifying school shooting that happened here in nashville. but they were declared out of order the violated the rules typically in the legislature, or congress or the city council who violate the rules. you get a slap on the wrist, or maybe you're centered , but the decision was made to fire them to expel them, despite the fact that they were elected in their districts by tens of thousands of voters, they are now gone. when the decision was made for those two men to be expelled, people scream and yell . they actually had to die in where people were lying down in the halls of legislature, and when it all ended, and when the representatives came out there were tennessee trooper separating the protesters from the legislators. as they came out. it was a wild day in a very unusual day in american politics . this is gary tuchman, cnn in nashville, tennessee. the republican speaker of the house , cameron sexton said peaceful

protests are welcome. but what these lawmakers did detracted from that process and distracted the house from protecting children. here's what the democratic lawmakers had to say . the two black men who were expelled and the white woman who was not explains why she thinks she was bad. what happened today was a distracting the real issue. what was that? a week after mass shooting in nashville , rather than passed laws that passed common sense gun laws, my colleagues expelled myself eruption pearson because they're afraid of what we're giving voice to all these young people gathered around the capital manning his body changed millennials, saying that it's our time now and that we need substantive, urgent action to address this crisis of mass shootings. from the periphery in the back of the house. you gotta go to the well of democracy. democracy be true for everybody. it's not just. when the status

grown not just those you are being supported by the inra and gun lobbyists and the tennessee firearms associate, not just them, not they are the ones that just get a voice. that's the folks in our districts. get a voice to i'm a six year old white woman, and they are too young black men. i am listening to the questions and the way they were questioned. and the way they were talked to um, i was talked down to as a woman man splain to but it was completely different from the questioning that they got. president biden is condemning the lawmakers. expulsion is shocking and undemocratic. he tweeted three kids and three officials gunned down in yet another mass shooting and what a gop officials focused on punishing lawmakers who joined thousands of peaceful protesters . former president barack obama tweeted. what happened in tennessee is the latest example of a broader erosion of civility

and democratic norms. silencing those who disagree with us is a sign of weakness, not strength, and it won't lead to progress. we're keeping a close eye on the violence flaring in israel, gaza and now lebanon as well. the lebanese foreign ministry just announced it will file an official complaint to the un security council after israeli strikes hit southern lebanon. israel says it was going after palestinian militants there and in gaza, where the palestinian health ministry said the israeli strikes damage to children's hospital. israel says it was responding to a barrage of rocket attacks from hamas. this comes two days after israeli police stormed the al aqsa mosque. in jerusalem, one of islam's holiest sites. all these worshippers returned on thursday . the fighting is happening as the region's three major religions and meant to be celebrating ramadan, passover and easter. cnn scott mclean is monitoring the lebanese reaction live from beirut. let's begin with our salma abdelaziz, who is

with us from jerusalem. someone tell us more about the reaction of israel to what's being called the biggest rock itself, folks salvo since 2006. i think really, to break this down max and bianca. we have to start at the compound, known as temple mount to jews, known as the noble sanctuary to muslims that flashpoint holy site that is often the start and end of so many tensions in this region, and you have to take it back to wednesday. of course, when locks a mosque was twice raided by israeli police footage of one of those overnight raid shows israeli police hitting worshippers hitting people inside with batons with the butts of their right. rifles those images as you can imagine , or extremely inflammatory to the muslim world, particularly as it is the holy month of ramadan, in condemnation quickly poured in as well as rockets in response rockets coming from gaza, about a dozen of them on wednesday, as well as rockets coming from southern lebanon, a

barrage of over 30 the largest barrage seen from that region since the conflict since the war in 2006, now authorities then went on here in israel to say that they would respond, prime minister benjamin netanyahu saying that he would. he vowed to respond to those attacks, and that's exactly what we saw take place. israeli defense forces say they struck at sites inside gaza. they say those were military sites. weapons sites. the palestinian health ministry , for its part, says that the hospital was hit in that attack , and there was no death toll. but the people inside of course, disturbed by that. attack. and, of course, retaliatory strikes on southern lebanon as well. now it's important to note here that israeli authorities are not blaming hizbollah, which is, of course, the organization, the political military organization that operates dominates southern lebanon. israeli authorities are instead blaming other

palestinian factions hamas or islamic jihad for launching attacks from southern lebanon. hezbollah for its part, has neither claimed or denied responsibility, has condemned the raid on al aqsa mosque. wednesday but now you've seen these very measured that's important to note very measured no death toll here from gaza from southern lebanon from from israel. no death toll very measured tip for tat, and the question is, does it fizzle out ? or does it escalate into answer that question? we're going to have to go back to temple mount back to the noble sanctuary today where there's going to be friday prayer in less than a couple of hours. time does that go ahead as planned? does that go on without incident that could bring down tension? is that could deescalate the situation but if yet again, we do see more escalation there more incidences there that could feed fuel to this fire. very tense, very worrying. we're going to shift to the lebanese capital scott mclean is there. what are authorities saying about these rockets going in both directions

across the border? hey, max. look, the israelis promised to respond, and it seems like they have respond. the thing is that israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu promised to extract a heavy price from israel's enemies and at least on the lebanese side. the strikes didn't really do that much damage, at least based on the video that we have seen thus far, which shows that there were some homes. some cars that were affected. there was an electrical transformer. that was affected and there was a massive crater left in a farmer's field in a pretty rural area. little farming community farmers there said that they woke up to these explosions that damaged some of their homes. but as far as we can tell so far there have been no one injured. no one no casualties, either. someone mentioned the israelis are blaming palestinian militant groups that are operating within lebanon, and there are several of them and they do have some

military power in this part of their in the southern part of the country, especially around some of the palestinian refugee camps there. israel says that of the strikes that it carried out there were 10 of them. it was aiming at hamas linked tunnels and production sites there, and it seems that israel is being extremely careful here to make sure that they are only going after targets that they say are laid to palestinian militant groups, rather than salma mentioned hezbollah because that they see as a much, much bigger threat. in fact, it's been something that they've been worried about for. quite some time. the israeli assessment is that there could be hundreds, maybe thousands of rockets that hezbollah has hidden in southern lebanon inside private residences, all of them within range of actually hitting israeli soil. hezbollah someone mentioned neither confirmed nor denied but previously for context here. it's leader hassan nasrallah has said that look,

any violations at the al aqsa mosque complex could lead to hell breaking loose in this region. israel does, though, say that hezbollah does bear. okay scott. we lost communications within their we've got the gist of that story with those images coming into us now, just days after his arraignment on multiple felonies, donald trump is on the attack against the manhattan district attorney and the judge overseeing the case. the latest is just ahead, plus a new report. details held supreme court justice clarence thomas secretly accepted luxury trips from a major republican donor. dozens of arrests in france following more demonstrations against the government's controversial pension reform plan will take you to paris live the latest. over 100 million americans have low or no credit

reduction from the 311,000 jobs gained in february. economists predict the unemployment rate will hold steady at 3.6% the march jobs report will be the last monthly employment snapshot. before the federal reserve's next policy meeting at the beginning of may. let's check where u s future standards . investors wait for this jobs report as you can see, they're not feeling particularly optimistic about it. all three or three major u. s indexes are now slightly in the red and trading is in full swing on the european markets or are trading slightly higher at the moment, and the asian markets are also in green territory. as you can see, there's a new warning that the odds of a recession in the u. s may be going up. it's from jamie diamond, ceo of jpmorgan chase, the nation's largest bank . in an exclusive interview with seeing his probably harlow, he said the recent collapse of two u. s banks have pushed the american economy a bit closer to the edge. i look at like it's not definitive. it's just like another weight on the scale and think of it. as you know, people

say, it's like raising rates another 50 basis points or something like that. we are seeing people reduced lending a little bit. cut back a little bit. pull back a little bit. it won't necessary force recession , but it is recessionary. donald trump's next court date in the hush money investigation is not expected for many, many months, and any potential trial would be next year at the earliest. trump and his allies already pressing their case in the court of public opinion and aggressively questioning the integrity of the manhattan d, a. and the presiding judge, cnn's christian homes is in west palm beach and has our report president trump former president donald trump's legal strategy takes shape. he and his allies are moving ahead full throttle with her political strategy to discredit the manhattan district attorney and the judge overseeing his case. trump he's a left wing democrat and by any means necessary as his approach under new york state law is a felony. attacking manhattan district attorney alvin bragg, democrat as being

politically motivated political scam. i've said that for weeks now trump ally and head of the house judiciary committee, jim jordans, firing office subpoena to a former senior prosecutor on the manhattan d a team mark pomerantz, the committee saying pomeranz public statements about the investigation strongly suggests that brags prosecution of president trump is politically motivated. trump world also questioning in the impartiality of the judge on the case. juan marshawn brought these bogus political charges against president trump. and then he finds out that this judge actually donated to biden's campaign so that at least raises the appearance of impartiality that the appearance that this judge could be not be impartial against president trump. according to filings, marshawn donated small amounts to democratic fundraising efforts in 2020, including $15

to joe biden's campaign enact that caught some legal experts by surprise. the dollar amounts here are quite small, there could be an issue at least about the appearance of a conflict of interest that judicial ethics rules say that you want to avoid any situation where it could look like a judge might not be impartial. trump also taking hey, matt martians family despite a request from the judge to avoid rhetoric that could quote, incite violence or jeopardize the safety or well being of any individuals, i have a trump hating judge. with the trump hating wife and family. whose daughter worked for kamala harris daughter served as president of authentic campaigns affirm that does digital work for democratic candidates enforcement in new york continues to track threats against bragg and marshawn, although none of the threats so far have been deemed credible, trump himself lashing out more broadly at the investigations into his conduct, asking republicans to quote defund the

doj and fbi until they come to their senses and accusing democrats of weaponizing law enforcement something not all republican allies were in agreement on i'm not for defunding the police. i think it's a bad idea is frustrated as he has the right to be about some things they have been has done as trump and his team continue their full court press , notably absent former first lady melania trump, who hasn't been seen in public with donald trump since news broke of his indictment. and what we haven't seen melania. she's not travel from florida to new york, with the former president for his arraignment shoot was not at that speech at mar-a-lago. i am told by a number of sources that she has been eating dinner with him. she's been seen around the club with the former president. but some allies do believe that it would be helpful at least from an optics perspective for her to appear with him publicly christian homes. cnn west palm beach, florida stormy, daniels says absolutely she would testify against donald trump if the hush money case ever goes

before a jury in a new interview with talk tv's piers, morgan daniel said that when she watched trump in court on tuesday, she felt quote the king has been dethroned. the former adult film star also lamented that violent threats against her have now become way more specific and graphic allegedly by people who are no longer trying to hide their identities. one of trump's republican challenges in the u. s presidential race isn't waiting into his legal problems. former south carolina governor nikki haley spoke to an energetic crowd in her home state thursday night. she didn't mention trump's arrangement. instead she stuck to her talking points about the border and the economy. we are $31 trillion in debt. we are borrowing money just to make our interest payments. and the spending is out of control, and it's easy for us to blame biden. but i've always been a truth teller to you. and i've always told you hard truth even when it hurts.

are republicans did that to us too? social security will be bankrupt in 10 years. medicare will be bankrupt in five now you look at our education system and everybody wants to say covid did this star schools? we had a problem with education before covid. on the democratic side. president joe biden is the presumptive nominee in 2024 if you decides to run again, but a new cnn poll indicates that most americans don't think he deserves it. the poll says. just 32% of those surveyed said mr biden should get another four years in office. nearly 67% think someone else should get ago also found mr biden's approval rating at 42% with 57% disapproving of how he's handling his job as president. his numbers are slightly down from january. still ahead. protests in france spiral into clashes with police will go live to paris for the latest on the situation. that design you just

according to pro publicar thomas has gone on several luxury trips paid for by republican mega donor harlan crow, but this was not previously disclosed. cnn's joan biskupic explains why this puts the court what's integrity in jeopardy? this latest episode involving the lavish trips that justice thomas took, but did not disclose touches directly on concerns about the supreme court's integrity and why the justices do not have a formal code of ethics. these kinds of off bench activities have been cropping up more and more, but this report is probably one of the most staggering propublica after an extensive investigation found that justice thomas has benefited from travel and lodging at these lush locales provided by an indian private individual. on a scale like no other supreme court. justice has harlan crow is a major republican donor who has an interest in reshaping the judiciary at his expense. thomas and his wife, jenny, took trips to indonesia, new zealand and

other places across the world. these trips were not disclosed, and in fact remained largely secret. until now, there's some ambiguity about what justice time it should have disclosed. under federal law. the justices currently put only minimal amounts of information on their annual financial disclosure forms. they also have no no formal ethics code or wait for the public to lodge complaints, ethics complaints against the justices and have them resolved in some way, the justices say that they abide by rules for lower court judges, but it's very difficult for the public to know if they do. in 2011 the last time chief justice john roberts addressed the ethics issue, he said, essentially trust us. we follow rules that lower court judges use. he said he had confidence in all of his colleagues, but he has been essentially silent since then, even though these questionable activities keep coming to public light. neither chief justice john roberts, no joint nor justice. thomas responded to our questions after the propublica report. earlier this year, we

learned of extensive efforts undertaken by thomas's wife, jenny, to try to reverse the 2020 election results that landed joe biden in the white house. justice thomas did not recuse himself from election related cases. step back and consider how much concentrated power over american lives rest with the supreme court. these nine justices public approval of the court has been dropping, particularly since it reversed nearly a half century of precedent in the june dobbs decision that ruling reverse roe v. wade 1973 ruling that had declared a cast tuchel right to abortion. harlan crow said that in a statement first given to propublica, and then to cnn that he and his other guests did not discuss cases with thomas, but consider the access that these corporate and conservative leaders had to justice thomas and also consider the appearance that justices could be vulnerable to such gifts of travel and hospitality. unreported grit gifts as they were. maybe the this latest

episode will lead the hike our court to finally adopt some formal rules, or at least to respond to questions and be more transparent about their off bench behavior. john biskupic, cnn washington. a new round of nationwide protests in france against the government's pension reforms escalated into clashes and scuffles with police on thursday, the french interior minister says more than 150 police officers were injured, some of them seriously. authorities detained more than 100 people across the country. nearly 600,000 people took part in the protests. this was the scene as protesters targeted a well known financial company in paris for its ties to private pension funds. cnn senior producer saskia van dorn joins us from paris images we saw last night looked really dramatic. how did it turn out, saskia? yes well, max, you know there was a big turnout yesterday has been lower than previous protests,

but half a million people is significant. and so now france's book i'm used to these kind of scenes, and yesterday the protest began peacefully. it was almost festive. and then of course he scuffles did break out we have seen in, you know the previous weeks. this kind of radical fringe get bigger and their aim really is to take on the police, but as a really want to kind of underline that as a whole, the protests have been rather peaceful. and so now we need to talk about how this will affect mackerel. what happens next? so next week? there'll be more protests on thursday and then on friday, crucially, the constitutional council will rule if this pension reform is green lit, whether it's unconstitutional. we expect this to be just a formality, but well have to wait and see. so the question is, if it is green lit, and then the protest, perhaps died down. what does macron do next? his popularity is really low at the moment. the last time it was this low was during the yellow vest protests. so what can he do to win back the trust

and to get that popularity back ? take a listen to what the head of the cgt union had to say about macron. today wanting to force through this reform creates chaos. macron was the president of the rich, and now he is the president of chaos. and so i think that the wisdom of the constitutional council should be to do with the head of state obviously refuses to do that is to say to consider that in order to move on for the country to start to run against serenely reform must be withdrawn. there was no other way out than that. so macron, maybe in china right now, but this really is the biggest challenge facing his presidency and they will continue to protest until they feel that they are heard. so the question is will mac macron? listen, max? yes so this is a big question. where does he go from here? um even if he does overcome this last hurdle of and pushing this reform through. well i think

that's the problem. he hasn't really offered any kind of solution or exit to the crisis. you know, the last time his popularity was this low was during the yellow vest protests in 2018 and back then he kind of organized these great town halls to listen to people voice. their concerns voiced every vince's, but he hasn't suggested anything this time around. and what all the trade unions are asking for. is really just for the reform to, you know, be put out the window. the head of the cfdt trade union was just saying this morning that they will respect what the constitutional council says, but that that will not stop them from protesting. max saskia. paris. thank you so much for that. britain's military intelligence believes that russian attacks are gaining more traction in back mud. ukrainian military released this video showing troops fighting house to house in damaged buildings, but british intelligence says it believes russian troops have quote regained some momentum there have likely advanced into

in the fighting. you know it was feeling like you are part of something great. it's the first time pilot yevgeny bushinsky has come back any coming back here. it must be quite hard for you. what's the emotion like? um it's very. i swear it's hard to be here and to see all this situation's destroyed, playing destroyed hungers. it's quite hard to see. the ukrainian antonov company says it wants to rebuild this one of a kind giant , no matter what it takes. valerie castillo says they've already retrieved match of what they can use. you can feel the extraordinary size of this plane inside the fuselage. maria was the heaviest plane in the world and it could carry up to 250 tons inside or even on top. designed to transport the soviet

arab uran spacecraft. the company refurbished the maria multiple times with six turbo fan engines, each with more than £50,000 of thrust and a 32 wheel landing gear system. the maria was a marvel, outsized hit with plane spotters and aviation enthusiasts. when you're flying this plane so many people wanted to take photos of it, follow it. what was that? like, um i was feeling. great responsibility. not only. to operate this plane properly. correctly it was also a great responsibility because you're attracting a lot of attention. if you days after you can open the youtube all whatever you done, but to put maria back in the sky, the antonov company says it could cost nearly a billion dollars and take years. but for

french president emmanuel macron is wrapping up a three day visit to china. during the trip, he and president xi jinping struck a deal and nuclear and wind energy. they also discussed solutions to end the war in ukraine. mr macron is hoping for a breakthrough and counting on president xi to reason with russia. will you get that? let's ask cnn's mark stewart joins us live from tokyo. what do you think, mark? hi there, max. good morning, bianca. let's keep in mind from the start. this was described as a diplomatic visit. not so much an opportunity for france to sculpt china. but among the headlines there we are reporting, according to a french diplomatic source president she has agreed to talk to talk to vladimir zelensky. when the time is right, so let's perhaps seen as a as a moment of optimism. but make no mistake. there are distinct differences between these two nations and their approach to the war in ukraine.

president macron is blaming russia for disrupting the peace in europe. on the other hand, we have china and president xi trying to take a hands off neutral approach yet not going far, according to some to condemn russia for the invasion . we also have seen diplomatic ties and economic ties between between china and russia actually strengthened during this time of war so far. big takeaway. lots of lots of words but no substantial action from this meeting. that would be a game changer in the direction of this conflict. maxim bianca. and mark has ever taiwan is still a point of friction, especially right now, as u. s. lawmakers are actually arriving in taipei with a not particularly subtle message for china. indeed as we see several u. s lawmakers, a bipartisan group of lawmakers have been spending time in taiwan. their message is going

to be based on security investment, um financial matters and, of course, regional stability, and it comes at a time where, as we have been reporting in recent weeks taiwan is really fighting to find. diplomatic allies around the world. it was just a few weeks ago that honduras tai chi and its ties with taiwan in favor of china. so as we have seen by president saying, when's trip to the united states, and then this reverse trip by lawmakers, it's all an attempt to let taiwan oh, it does have allies despite the might of china behind it. mark stewart. thank you. search is underway for 10 people on board , a japanese military helicopter . the country's defense minister says the chopper crashed on thursday off the coast of southern japan. it disappears from radar near okinawa, miyako island. so far, crews have found parts of a window frame door and rotor blade. those on board included two pilots, two mechanics and six passengers. one was a senior commander of

really difficult day for tiger woods during his opening round at the masters, a 74 or two overpass score would have fallen well short of his expectations, and given that it was such a glorious day. here it was more than 80 degrees sunshine from start to finish. given that the weather is going to change, it's going to be wetter and much much cooler. tiger perhaps knows that he's missed his chance. i feel like i drove it good. i just didn't do the job i need to do to get the ball close. today was the opportunity time to get the ball get around under par, and i didn't do that today. uh most of the guys are going low today. this is this was the day to do it. hopefully tomorrow i'll be a little bit better little bit sharper and my way through it, and this is going to be a an interesting finished the tournament. with the weather coming in. if i can just kind of hang in there, maybe kind of my way back. hopefully it will be positive towards the end. you know, talking. woods hasn't missed the cut at augusta since

the mid nineties. but he's got it all to do if he wants to play a part of the proceedings here this weekend, so difficult day for target words, not so much for one of his playing partners and norway's victor hovland. he shot a brilliant 65 with an eagle on the second, and he never looked back from there. so a seven under par score for victor hovland, the world number three john ram. he had a double bogey on his first hole. also ended up with a 65 so superb comeback performance from john ram. and what about brooks kept a. he might just be the story of the opening day kept a is one of these breakaway rebel live golf players. his game has really been in the wilderness for a few years, but he won on the lift tour in orlando at the weekend, he came out and shot a 65, and he could be a key part of the conversation over the next few days as the narrative continues between the live guy. guys versus the media tour guys. that would certainly make things very interesting. back to you. must

be very frustrating for the winners because we always end up talking about tiger woods, even when he's not winning. well, that's a big conversation in the gulf world. which i know all too well. do you know what impact that rain would have on the greens? it would get wetter. yes, but what does that do to the ball to go? faster slower, slower. now here's a look at some of the stories trending this hour. actor hugh jackman has been given the all clear after cancer. skip jackson revealed this news on instagram , saying that biopsies for possible skin cancer came back negative. the australian actor has been treated for basal cell carcinoma in the past before getting the good news. he urged fans to be safe in the sun. if i can just take this opportunity to remind you summit is coming for those of us here in the northern hemisphere. please wear sunscreen. it is just not worth it. no matter how much you want to 10, trust me, trust me. trust me. this is all stuff that happened 25 years ago was coming out. now put some sunscreen on. you'll still have a incredible time out there. all right.
