11:01 am
going to balance of nature .com and don't forget to use discount code, cnn. hello everyone. i'm fredricka whitfield in new york. welcome to the cnn newsroom and we begin in the middle east, where tensions are boiling over into bloodshed on what's considered some of the most sacred holy days of the year for the world's three major religions, recognizing easter, passover and ramadan. israeli defense forces launching major retaliatory strikes in both southern lebanon and gaza this morning targeting sites belonging to the palestinian military group hamas, and just moments ago, an official told cnn that the operations in the two areas are now over as long as there are no new rocket fires. and these attacks happened just hours after dozens
11:02 am
of rockets were launched from lebanon in what's considered the largest barrage fired from there in nearly two decades. this all follows the israeli forces led raids earlier this week on one of islam's holiest sites. the al aqsa mosque in jerusalem. and today, the df began mobilizing military reserve units while vowing to deescalate the situation. we have reporters covering both sides of the conflict. cnn's scott mclean is in beirut. let's first go to cnn's fred pleitgen live near the gaza strip. fred what more do we know about what the israeli defense forces struck this morning? either fredricka when they say that they struck several targets inside the gaza strip, a lot of them being tunnels but then also what they call research and development facilities from hamas from the militant group but obviously controls the gaza strip. obviously the israelis are saying that in some cases, hamas is actually building rockets there that are then fired
11:03 am
towards israel, and you mentioned the fact that overnight there were also a lot of rockets that came from gaza towards israeli territory. the israelis managing to intercept a lot of those rockets, some of them landed in open fields, but one actually did land account town called the road, which is also right near where i am right now on the edge of the gaza strip as well. nevertheless you're also absolutely frederico that the israeli defense forces spokesman told me israel wants to de escalate the situation here is what he said. we want to de escalate. i mean, there's a very, very sensitive weekend ahead with passover, ramadan and easter, all aligning , and we're looking for a hoping for a quiet weekend. although we had another attack the right after the prayers and the jerusalem in the jordan valley, but we look we're looking to deescalate. so you have the israeli defense forces, saying that they want to deescalate the situation just to tell you what's going on right now. as we
11:04 am
stand on the ground here, you did just mention that a source in the israeli defense structure said that right now, these operations are over if there are no new rocket launches from gaza and from south lebanon, what we're seeing right now here on the ground on the edge of gaza and the lights that you see behind me, that is already gaza is the israelis, obviously having some pretty tense, calm here on the edge of gaza, there are still drones in the air all the time. so clearly the israelis watching the situation very closely at the same time, obviously right now it is calm here on the edge of gaza. fredricka alright, thanks so much. fred and scott, you're in beirut. how are people there? responding to all of this? hey fredricka. there is a mixture it seems of concern and also relief concerned that things could escalate further, especially given what we saw overnight and these retaliatory strikes from israel that have forced seemed to hit some pretty benign, pretty insignificant targets yet
11:05 am
later, lebanese security source told my team here in beirut that those actually weren't benign targets. these actually were targets that belonged to palestinian militant groups that actually did have weapons at them. and so there's plenty of concern here that things could escalate being expressed by the un by that same source, but there's also relief about who was supposedly involved in the this barrage of rockets. from lebanon into israel, and more importantly, who was not. this is the lebanese foreign minister earlier today, listen. but we found out that this palestinians that did it not as well a at all , and it is really good that neither has well nor israel is escalating. you can hear the relief in his voice there, obviously realizing that we're hezbollah risk of things getting out of hand would be a
11:06 am
heck of a lot higher hezbollah figure, even saying earlier today that the deterrent power balance remains in place. in other words, war would not turn out well for either side of the foreign minister also said that his government has worked hard. to try to convince all the various factions to turn down the temperature. but given the reality in this country and the complexities in this country and in the wider region, he also acknowledged that essentially he is relying on hezbollah to relay his message to the palestinian factions. he's relying on the united states to relay the message. to israel to turn down the temperature. this is essentially a game of telephone with some pretty dire real life consequences and complicating things further. fredricka is the stark reality that lebanon simply does not effectively control large swaths of the country case in point. the minister suggested that these rockets were actually manufactured in palestinian refugee camps in lebanon camps that have been there for decades
11:07 am
and decades. and yet lebanese security forces. i have really, no way to effectively police those areas. fredricka feeling powerless. alright scott mclean , fred pleitgen. thanks to both of you appreciate that. for more now i want to bring in robin wright. she's a contributing writer for the new yorker and fellow at the woodrow wilson international center for scholars. she's also author of the book rock the casbah, rage and rebellion across the islamic world. robin so good to see you . what are your thoughts on that last thought that scott was making about a almost sense of powerlessness over the palestinian, uh, sites there in lebanon? well lebanon, unfortunately, is a failing state. today there are still multiple armed militias, notably hizbollah, but also some palestinian radical factions. so the lebanese military has a hard time coping with the militias,
11:08 am
given the domestic crises in in lebanon, um the reality is there is a moment of calm right now. but the problem is that long term the central issues between israel and palestinians, israel and, um, hezbollah, two different layers, one kind of local one regional still have not been resolved and so the potential for more attention is real. whether it's in the next 24 hours or the next few months , uh, diplomacy has made strides in the last three years, but not enough to crack the core issues. so this is the worst outbreak of violence since 22,006. but is it your feeling that something is different here? well over the last three years. um the arabs and the israelis have managed to engage in regional talks that led to the abraham accords. there's a different kind of relationship. so there there is
11:09 am
some hope that the broader issues it used to be for more than 70 years that the diplomacy was focused on solving the palestinian issue as the route to solve the broader arab israeli problem now. ah! on solving the real roland arab states and the palace. it won't . i've been now for a number of years that so there has not been any progress on that immediate issue. and so as a result, it flares occasionally and probably will in the future. our signal with you is a little intermittent, but i'm going to ask another question. if i might before we possibly lose you altogether. so you know how much are these holidays? passover ramadan easter, factoring into the tension right now. this is the first time in 30 years that the three uh holidays have coincided there's another five days of passover, another two weeks of ramadan. so this is a
11:10 am
particularly sensitive time when religious identity religious passions are at an all time high . and so this is a volatile time for all three religions and everyone in the middle east. the israeli defense forces say that you know, wants to deescalate these tensions, but we're also hearing that they're mobilizing reserve units. they call it a preventive measure is that how palestinians and hamas will see it? well, the israelis are trying to signal look, we are prepared if anyone tries to attack us again. this is in some ways both a preventive measure and signal. uh at the needless to say, the palestinians will probably look at this as um or is, um and but whether the palestinians want to take on the might of the israeli air force and army, i doubted their vastly outnumbered, vastly outgunned, um so maybe that they have had
11:11 am
their say in response to the tensions at the al aqsa mosque. uh and they may want me not want to bring on, um, a full scale war. are you or is anyone hopeful that there will be some sort of agreement to end this current round of violence? well the egyptians have been engaged in deep diplomacy messaging back and forth. egypt has been the primary interlocutor between israel and the palestinian factions, so, particularly in the west bank, where hamas and islamic jihad or based so i think there is an effort to try to defuse the crisis at the moment, whether it it lasts, you know, indefinitely, you know, is very doubtful, as long as there's not kind of something bigger, diplomatically in the works. robin wright. we'll leave it there. thanks so much good to see you. thank you. alright and new developments today out of russia. state media confirms
11:12 am
that wall street journal reporter evan gersh novich has been formally charged with espionage. he has denied all the allegations. the u. s embassy in moscow still has not see not been granted consular access to the detained journalists earlier this week, secretary of state antony blinken said he believes ceviche is being wrongfully detained, though the white house has yet to make that distinction. povich's next court date is set for april 18th. and the latest jobs report showing a cool down in the labor market, and that could be welcome news for the fed. but the ceo of jpmorgan warren's there are storm clouds ahead for the economy here, that exclusive interview next and florida investigators announced arrests in connection with the recent shooting deaths of three teens among those taken into custody a 12 year old what more we're learning about the motive. cnn

11:15 am
world, and if it's not installed correctly, it's gonna fail. so we don't hire these jack of all trades installers that do gutters and siding on the side are window installation teams do our windows year in year out, and i've done thousands of them. anytime a homeowner has to deal with multiple home improvement companies, they get stuck in the blame game with other companies . if there's an issue, the manufacturer blames the installer. the installer blames the manufacturer with us. there's no finger pointing or blaming each other. we're both the installer and the manufacturer. is it easy for a homeowner to get a price? very easy. we'll come out to your house will assess your current patio door windows, and then we'll give you an exact price. that's good for an entire year. that's great information. thank you. be four. april 30th when you buy one window or door, get the next 1 40% off. that's 40% off with a minimum purchase of four and our financing can help make this project more affordable. get no money down, no monthly payments and no interest for one year. this

11:17 am
. today's jobs report revealed a slight cool down in the labor market, employers added only 236,000 jobs last month. meantime the unemployment rate dropped to 3.5% cnn business reporter rahul solomon is here to break down. the numbers were held great to see you. so this is the first jobs report in a year. that came in below expectations. what is going on, fred? good to be with you? yes. so let's take a look at the numbers, right? so 236. it was slightly below expectations and we can show you sort of what we're looking at over the last year. how this compares with the last year, so 236 to put that in context, the expectation was closer to 239. definitely on the lighter side, but this you could argue was just very vote. robust job growth. and so what we're seeing is a gradual cooling and normalizing, so to speak. i can also tell you in this report, fred. we saw a job forced labor force participation the share of americans actually participating in the workforce. some nice gains there. almost half a
11:18 am
million people join the workforce either decided they were going to look for a job or the actually started working so that has to be music to the ears of people at the fed who have needed to see a greater supply of workers. let's take a look at unemployment, the unemployment rate as you said, falling to 3.5% that's pretty much i gotta work on. my penmanship is pretty much a 50 year low but for a take a look at this. this is really noteworthy, so the unemployment rate for black americans continues to be above the national average, but falling to a record this is the lowest it has ever been since the bls started taking taking in the status since 1972 falling to 5% for black americans overall and for black women. actually falling to 4.2% that is also the lowest it has ever been since 1972 for it, alright. that's encouraging. are you you mentioned job gains. so where are they? who is hiring? so let's take a look at that? so this is part of a trend that we have been seeing for quite some time. now leisure and hospitality. they are still
11:19 am
adding jobs after the pandemic, so getting back to where they were before the pandemic. 72,000 jobs for this is also when we look at consumer spending where we're still spending. we're still going out to restaurants were still traveling. we're still participating on the services side of the economy, but also government, adding almost 50,000 jobs and professional and business services. so this is sort of a nice and easy type of report as jpmorgan put it today, a gradual cooling but i would argue probably the best case scenario in an environment where we needed to see some cooling. alright very good. rachel solomon. thanks so much. all right, speaking of jpmorgan chase, the head of america's largest bank, warns that there are storm clouds ahead for the nation's economy. jpmorgan chase ceo jamie diamond spoke to cnn in his first interview since the recent banking crisis, and he says despite the collapses, he believes that making system is strong, but that the economy may not be in the clear. is the current banking crisis over this
11:20 am
is not 2008. is the american banking system truly safe and secure? yes this banking crisis even though you think it's almost over, which i'm really glad to hear, though. increased chances of a recession here. yes. are you joining me right now to discuss his mark zandi, moody's analytics, chief economist. good to see you. so what's your reaction to what diamond said. well i agree. i think the banking crisis is over . we might see another failure to but that would likely be by a very small institution in the government is fully engaged here and has everyone's back. so i'm not worried about the banking crisis going forward. i agree with that. and of course there's gonna be fall out. banks are much more cautious in their lending as a result of all this particularly small and mid sized banks, and of course, they're very critical to consumers buying cars and needing credit cards and, of course, small businesses that, you know kind
11:21 am
of drive the economic engine in terms of investment and hiring and economic growth, so we will see some fall out. you know my senses. maybe a little more optimistic than the ceo of jpmorgan. i you know, obviously , recession risks are high. but, you know, get reports like today's job numbers. it gives you some confidence. this economy is very resilient, and, uh, it can withstand a lot and i think it has a good chance of navigating through without going into recession. so what? what is your take on what is happening with the labor market slowed down. what does it mean to you? uh it's good news. it's threading a needle of fredricka . you know, we need to see slower job growth. uh slower wage growth. moderation in how tight the labor market is, because that's really critical to getting inflation back down to something that we all feel comfortable with. so this today's numbers consistent with that. and of course, we don't want the labor market to fall apart. we don't want to see job
11:22 am
a lot. a lot of jobs lost. we don't want to see unemployment rise very quickly, and that's today's report suggests. that's also the case. so we're the economy feels like it's threading this needle now that obviously highlights the risks. i mean, this is a bit tricky, but so far so good. it feels like we're you know, we're going down the kind of the middle of the strikes down here. yeah there's a lot of highs and lows and everyone interprets them differently. or that is a lot of people interpreted differently. so the unemployment the low unemployment rate, i mean, most would think that this is a good thing. so then why are there those who think it's a problem? well it might be. it's a good thing. 3.5% unemployment, you know that's consistent with how low unemployment got before the pandemic, and we weren't worried about inflation at that point in time, so i think this economy can live with that kind of low unemployment. obviously, people are nervous that at that low unemployment that's consistent with a very title. such a tight labor market that labor costs
11:23 am
are going to rise to a point where inflation remains a problem in the fed's going to continue to raise interest rates. we'll have to see. but my sense is that you know, 3.5% unemployment rate is kind of where we want it to be. you know very low. we want people to work . we mentioned the 5% black unemployment rate. that's fantastic, but i don't think it's too much that it will result in the kind of wage growth that's going to result in the inflation that that the bed will have to raise interest rates and ultimately push the economy into recession. so 3.5% feels pretty good to me. by the way, fredricka. that's where we've been for a year, you know, give 3.5% for a year, so i take it all right, so you think there is an end to any kind of rate hike? you know, cycle. yeah we're close. you know the economy. given these today's jobs numbers, it does suggest the economy's throttling back. we are going to see more layoffs. i mean, that's in large part because they were exceptionally low. i mean, record low level, so we're going to see some normalization there
11:24 am
. you know, i think that's very likely and i do think inflation is going to come in here. ah reasonably gracefully. so yeah, i think we have a fighting chance to get through all this without in despite all the slings and arrows, the pandemic, the russian invasion of ukraine , the banking crisis. i mean, this economy is getting hit by a lot of stuff. yet it's navigating through. i think it's nice to use the word gracefully. alright, optimistic mark zandi. thanks so much good to see you. thank you take care, political battle. well it's far from over. that's the message from two tennessee democratic lawmakers who were expelled by republican supermajority after they protested against gun violence up next we'll speak to one lawmaker who managed to avoid that expulsion. okakay everyone. our mission is complete, balanceded nutrition together, e provide nutrients to support immune, muscle boom and heart health, 25 vitamins and minerals

11:29 am
now. there's only one. morgan and morgan. 44 401 541 german in eastern ukraine. cnn. rather than passed laws that will address red flagged and banning assault weapons and universal background checks. they passed resolutions to expel their colleagues, and they think that the issues over yeah, we'll see you on monday. that's the now expelled tennessee representative justin jones, making it clear that he and fellow representative justin pearson will keep up their fight for gun reform. republicans voted yesterday to expel the two black lawmakers from the statehouse in a showdown over gun reform. vice president kamala harris is set to leave for nashville shortly to meet with them. she will also meet with the third representative gloria johnson, who survived the expulsion vote. all three had
11:30 am
led protest against gun violence that halted legislative proceedings. last week, gop lawmakers accused them of bringing disorder and dishonor to the house. shall we? i feel like if they would have said, you know what? we messed up. i mean, what american what human what? bring forgiveness and redemption, but they doubled down into which so far as to staying in the world today and said i'd do it again. cnn national correspondent ryan young is in nashville with more on this. so what is next, ryan? well what a difference. 24 hours makes. i mean, this entire plaza was full of people protesters who were getting their voices heard yesterday. even around this time and really there's shock waves coming through the state right now, as people sort of get their heads around exactly what happened here? we're thinking about what happens next with charles felman , who works for organized hill. see you said, there's gonna be a
11:31 am
lot of action come monday. what are the plans coming forward for monday in terms of these two lawmakers specifically was actually action today? over at fisk university. one of our hbcu s there's gonna be a reality. sport the tennessee three there at 4 30. there's gonna be folks coming in on monday as well. we have to remember that this started as a protest against gun violence march for our lives, bringing thousands of students here to the capital and the tennessee three supporting them, so we're going to continue advocating for to end gun violence. do you believe there's a chance and there's a lot of movement about this. whether not these two lawmakers may get their seats back. it does metro nashville davidson county council they're going to meet at 4 30. it looks like just on twitter just council members that have posted it. there's enough votes to appoint him. the question. mark is shelby county . i'm getting messages that shelby county commission who will appoint will decide and they're they're not set yet. i had a conversation with the coordinator of elections before all this happened. and to ask, and they be reappointed again. and he with a big smile said it's up to the house who serves
11:32 am
in the house. so the question mark is. how will republicans up there on the hill respond my last question. we talked about this just a little bit racially speaking as someone who has lived in this state, almost your entire life. what message? do you think this sent yesterday with how the state will be viewed moving forward. this was an attack on democracy. and, you know, i'm a southerner. ah grew up on a farm in the south and all the good and bad that goes with that, and we know we have a lot to work on together. it's going to take us working together. that's why i do my work with organized indices protecting elections protecting democracy and this was flat out and assault on democracy, and it's not a coincidence that they removed the two black men and kept the white woman as a we have to keep watching. i know the i have. the media is just a moment in a flash in the pan, but we're going to have elections this summer and organized tennessee and other groups are going to be there protecting these elections. protecting the right to vote not just in the capitol hill where they're removing folks, but out there in the ballot box as well,
11:33 am
thank you so much. i appreciate your time. of course, everyone's thinking about what we happened on monday. we're told more protests will come. we'll also see whether or not some of these members will get their seats back something that play out again on television. fred we shall see. all right, ryan? yeah, we're gonna talk more about all this right now. thank you so much. ryan joining me right now is the third tennessee democratic state representative who faced expulsion. gloria johnson. but of course, miss johnson, you your job was saved . good to see you. i know you were in the vehicle because your soon to be meeting with the vice president kamala harris, who is on her way to nashville. what do you want to share with her? what do you want to hear from the vice president? i just want to talk about the immediacy of getting solutions for gun violence. i think that we have to continue to lift that issue, and i'm so very proud of this young generation who are organizing and fighting and working so hard they're showing
11:34 am
up and they're speaking up at the capitol, and it's wonderful to see so many people united toddlers, teens and their parents and college students just really coming out, saying we want to be protected, and that is what the three of us were trying to do and trying to bring attention to that on our house floor. and that's what we're going to keep bringing attention to. and you saw that interview that we just played a portion of it representative face in the republican last night who is looking at this less of addressing the issue of gun violence and more of the issue of decor? um and he said, you know, all it would have taken was an apology that would have made a difference as in to save your two colleagues. jobs. do you believe that? uh you know , i he can say that now, but that certainly wasn't the tone of the questioning and what we were hearing in that room. meaning? ah meaning they were.
11:35 am
they were talking down. they were rude. um it was like they were. they were prosecutors, but then i didn't allow us to build a defense. they allowed themselves to bring video. but we were told we could not bring video. we have no idea. you know who filmed that video who edited that video, they promised it was only video from the floor. but as it turned out, it had video from other days in it, and so they were just honest throughout the procedure, and we didn't really find out much about the procedure until six o'clock the night before, and afterwards you said. you think the distinction as to why you got to keep your job and mr pearson and jones did not was because of the color of your skin after saying that publicly have you heard anything more from your colleagues? um. they're about why they voted the
11:36 am
way they did. why they spared you your job. i kept hearing from some across the aisle that they that they didn't feel like , um, we showed enough. ah we're an apologetic weren't conciliatory, that sort of thing. but um you know, i knew i was breaking a rule. but because they're not following democratic processes. that's why we felt that we had to break the rule. and we were not allowed. we were silenced on the floor. multiple times that day. we were not allowed to address those protesters. thousands of protesters outside that were there for safety for their children. we just wanted to welcome them acknowledge they were there say that we saw them. we cared about their issue and we would fight hard. for gun sense legislation. that's all we wanted to do. we weren't allowed
11:37 am
on the floor, and so we just decided to take those few minutes to be able to do that. and if you don't mind if you could explain the process as to how this metro council through metro council, whether it be in davidson county or in shelby county, how the positions might be restored potentially for jones and pearson. yes what it does is the first part of the process is it goes to those metal councils or commissions and they will appoint a replacement. and yes, they are is completely allowable for them to a point. um the former representatives. ah there's some question as to the law as it relates to. it's really undefined. there's nothing in there that says it can't be in the general assembly, the same 113th general assembly, which we are in now. but there are some lawyers who maintain that it
11:38 am
can't be in the same general assembly, but other lawyers will say it doesn't say that. hmm it's going to be a legal question. yes i know. there's some hope on your behalf and many supporters of view of justin pearson that they will be, um their jobs will be really reappointed re restored. so i wonder, too, on the issue that your job was spared, you know? is there any guilt that you feel that you were spared? you've worked a long time with them. you all know each other? well you have been a part of the same movement or do you feel like this further propels you to take advantage of the opportunity to keep your job. to try to provoke change. i so when i was standing there, you know, i just started to walk off of the floor, just
11:39 am
like justin did after he was expelled, and they're like, no, you they you won the vote. you won the vote, and i was like, i can't you know, when all i started saying but that's not okay because of justin and so for me. i took no satisfaction at that point for winning because i was so concerned about justin jones, who had who had gone before me. his his resolution went before mine and just broke down in tears because it just mortified me. um he made such a beautiful defense. and you know, after his i was like, oh, my goodness. i can never be that eloquent that articulate that, you know, powerful, powerful speaker and then justin pearson after that, but when you heard the tone of the questioning in there on how they were questioned and how i was questioned, it was clear what that was about. it was so clear.
11:40 am
hmm hmm. hmm. um and they was they were so good at pinpointing it out and hitting it directly. i was so proud of them. we need their voices in the legislature and i'll do everything i can to help them get back. and throughout, um they exemplified a poise. power and real poetic and i was going to ask you about those tears that i saw yesterday and what what was behind those tears that you know you visibly were shaken. um upset. um but now you're you're also saying you're going to work hard to try. to help them get back into that place. yes justin jones when his nashville it's more democratic, and knoxville is very republican. so my race was in the general election against a republican. his biggest race was he didn't even have a challenger in the democratic
11:41 am
general election. his big race was in the primary so after he want run, won his primary. he committed to come to knoxville, and he came multiple times to knoxville to help me knock doors and all of that, and i said, justin, i'm going to be there. for you and nashville. i will go to memphis for justin pearson and do everything that i can to help them come back because i truly believe that those voices are desperately needed. and our general assembly. who is not listening to a large part of the population in tennessee. tennessee state representative gloria johnson. thanks so much for your time, all the best on your upcoming visit with the vice president. absolutely thank you. thanks for having me on fredricka. absolutely. thanks for being with us. alright two suspects in custody and a third is on the run in connection to the murder of those three teens

expand your teams with a fiber freelancer. cnn presents a max original heaven's gate sunday at 10 on cnn. major new developments today for a man who has spent the last 25 years on oklahoma's death row inmate richard glossip could soon see his murder conviction and death row sentence tossed out and a new trial ordered. oklahoma's attorney general filed a motion asking for a new trial. glossip was convicted of ordering the 1997 killing of his boss and sentenced to death. the a g s move comes on the same day he released the findings of an independent counsels review of glossip's case. cnn's ed
11:54 am
lavandera is with us now. ed glossip is expected to be executed next month. what more can you tell us about the a g s sudden actions in this case? well yeah, you're right. fredricka several weeks away from richard glossip's next scheduled extra execution, but this is a case that has garnered bipartisan support in the state of oklahoma for it to be re examined and yesterday after the results, and the findings of an independent counsel appointed by the attorney general of oklahoma , the attorney general there in that state, says that he can no longer stand behind the murder conviction of richard blossom. in a statement, he says, this is not to say that i believe richard glossip is innocent. however it is critical that oklahomans have absolute faith that the death penalty is administered fairly and with certainty, considering everything i know about this case, i do not believe that justice is served by executing a man based on the testimony of a
11:55 am
compromised witness and what the attorney general is referring to there. is the co defendant, other man who was convicted in this 1997 murder. and according to these reports, there are serious doubts of whether or not justin steed, who is the other defendant was telling the truth. the story behind all of this is that sneed testified against glossip, saying that he was hired to carry out this murder. but there have been several instances. supporters of glossip say we're snead has tried to recant that testimony. and the independent counsel report also states that there was evidence withheld from the defense team along the way. so all of this adding up for the attorney general to push the oklahoma court of criminal appeals. and ask that court for a new trial. now the court of criminal appeals has several times didn't refused to hear new evidence. but with the attorney general now on richard glossip side this
11:56 am
could definitely change that dynamic here. we spoke with glossip's attorney earlier today, who said that he that glossip felt relieved that someone was finally listening to his pleas of innocence and requests for a new trial. alright ed lavandera. thank you so much. alright new information released in the death of cash app founder bob lee, including the release of surveillance video on the night he was stabbed alive in san francisco with the latest. morgan stanley old school hard work. both new thinking. partnering to unlock new ideas to create new legacies to transform a company. industry economy generation because great envision working in lockstep puts you on the path to your full potential. old school grid
