joining us in the united states and all around the world. i'm bianca novillo foster joining you live from london just ahead on cnn newsroom. the world got to see what really went on at fox news in 2020, today's settlement is complete vindication and really a message that lies do have consequences. i'm thankful that mr lester has turned himself in charge does not mean justice deep. live from london. this is cnn newsroom with max foster and bianca nobilo. it is wednesday, april 19th nine am here in london. four am on the u. s east coast. we begin with a colossal settlement in one of the biggest media cases in decades. the two year long battle between fox news and dominion dominion voting systems, finally ending with a whopping more than $787
1:02 am
million in damages to dominion, just before opening statements were set to begin. the deal, exposing the networks lack of credibility. the fox issued a statement saying it acknowledges the court found some of its claims about damian after the 2020 presidential election to be false. money is accountability. and we got that today from fox. but we're not done yet. we've got some other people who have some accountability coming towards them. and i'm very proud of the team from susman godfrey that has worked tirelessly for this case. and we'll move right on to the next one. and this is just one of the cases that fox is battling another voting tech companies. smartmatic says the settlement proves foxes wrongdoing, writing in a statement, dominions litigation exposed some of the misconduct and damage caused by fox's disinformation campaign. smartmatic will expose the rest and i believe that they are suing fox for $2.7 billion the
1:03 am
fox news settlement doesn't end dominions fight against election deniers who blamed the conspiracy for trump's 2020 loss on them. the company has lawsuits pending against other right wing tv networks and several top trump allies. cnn's danny freeman has more. just after the judge announced that there was going to be a settlement. in this case, i got to say the dominion attorneys were all smiles today as they left the courthouse and they left the press and they left the press conference telling us that this was a good day for dominion and a good day for democracy. now, this incredibly large settlement of $787 million was actually just less than half of what the meaning was initially asking for that $1.6 billion figure, but of course, still a sizable number and i should say there was a lot of lead up actually to this settlement. the jury was sworn in tuesday. a morning opening statements were ready to go 1 30 in the afternoon. but then after a mysterious 2.5 hour delay, finally the judge came back and said that there would be a resolution to this case. the parties came together and they settled and the judge even said
1:04 am
to the jury. if you weren't there, the party's probably would not have been able to reach a settlement. in this case. the judge made that announcement and the dominion came out and take a listen to what some of their attorneys had to say the truth does not know. red or blue. people across the political spectrum. pan and should. disagree on issues even . of the most profound importance. but for our democracy to endure for another 250 years and hopefully much longer. we must share a commitment to facts. in contrast , the attorneys for fox news they did not take any questions from the press. they just walk down the street here in wellington, but they did release a statement later on saying in part, we are pleased to have reached a settlement of our dispute dominion voting systems . we acknowledge the court's rulings finding certain claims about dominion being false. this settlement reflects foxes continued commitment to the
1:05 am
highest journalistic standards. so again, we're still waiting for certain details about the settlement. but as of now we do. no that fox does not intend to make any statement on its air about these false claims about dominion. but again, we'll wait and see if that changes in the future. danny freeman, cnn willington, delaware attorneys for dominion voting systems say their client feels vindicated by the settlement. they explained why the timing of the agreement was so important. i think that what we wanted what we needed was accountability, and we got that in two forms, both in the summary judgment opinion that they finally acknowledged today they acknowledge that the statements that they broadcast on their air were false, but also in the fact that this case didn't settle. until now. this case didn't settle before the documents were made public. this case didn't settle until the world got to see what really went on at fox news in 2020, and that was what we were focused on. and today was about getting them some justice not just in the form of the single largest
1:06 am
defamation verdict. i think this country has ever seen, not just in the form of, i think the single largest payout fox has ever made, but in the form of giving them some closure, these are people as you said, who have spent the last 2.5 years. receiving vicious and horrific threats on their lives and their livelihood and to give them the peace to not have to come out here and relive that trauma and do so on such a public stage was something that we were really, really just happy to be able to give to them. what happened to dominion was that it just got caught in this torrent of lies and got brought into this alternative universe where conspiracy theories dominated. we see. today's settlement is complete vindication and really a message that as your opening, said, lies do have consequences , and it's about having coming back to the shared facts because ultimately we can agree or
1:07 am
disagree on issues even to the most profound importance. but we have to have shared facts in this society to have a functioning democracy, and i think today's settlement was a real step in that direction. in the coming hours. the u. s supreme court is set to weigh in on a proposed ban on abortion medication issued by texas judge . their deadline to respond is just before midnight. on tuesday, a group of anti abortion doctors asked the court to restrict access to the drug. whilst the matter is being debated the claim the fda hasn't done enough to study the drug's safety and is routinely placed politics above women's health. the white homeowner who shot and wounded a black teenager in kansas city last week, is expected to be arraigned later today. and you, lester on the right here, turned himself into authorities on tuesday and was released hours later on bail. the attorney for 16 year old ralph, ya'll on the left is calling out police for how long

of how he was holding up behind bars. one was not know much reading classic russian novels, once said, and watching cooking shows on tv. but the u. s ambassador was far more critical , expressing her concerns his confinement. i can only say how troubling it was to see evan an innocent journalists held in these circumstances. the charges against evan are baseless and we call on the russian federation to immediately release him. it's brutal invasion of ukraine. russia has been stepping up its crackdown on free speech and dissent using the war as cover to silence, independent journalism. sure to jail long standing critics like vladimir caramels are sentenced to 25

1:36 am
even if russia was going to pay attention to that letter. i mean, there's no way to actually enforce this. that would be a good faith gesture of trust of the russians not to poke around this technology. absolutely. i mean this nuclear health plan. it's the largest in europe. it is still operated by ukrainian stuff, but crucially, it falls under the control of the russian armed forces and russia's state owned. energy firm rosset. um so really, this isn't going to have a significant impact on the ground because it is under the control under the territory that is now occupied by the russian armed forces. now we've heard in that letter, which has been reviewed by cnn, the u. s department of energy, saying that this separation nuclear power plant contains quote us origin nuclear technical data. that is export controlled by the us government. so that essentially means it would be unlawful for any russian citizens or russian entities to handle this technology. and this is, of course, a huge concern for the u. s government we've
1:37 am
seen since russia's invasion of ukrainian separation nuclear power plant coming under attack . we've seen the power plant disconnected from the ukrainian national grid on multiple occasions. as a result of russian selling, and that has really raised concerns over the potential for a nuclear accident in europe. and, of course, the last time we saw these public discussions about us technology and russia's temptation to explore it would be the downing of the reaper drone when there was a race against time to try and recover that drone in the black sea to find out more information about it. thank you so much. one of switzerland's oldest banks, is accused of failing to disclose its relationship with high ranking officials to report from the u. s senate budget committee detail how credit suisse maintained accounts for well beyond world war. cnn's tom foreman has that story. this report out of the senate committee is really a lightning bolt aimed at
1:38 am
christie's swiss, which is already struggling with a lot of things right now, essentially what it is saying is that they believe that credit suisse did have dealings with a lot of people with ties to the regime in south america, specifically argentina among things identified according to the key findings from the senate committee, where 21 accounts from a list of notorious high level with critics swiss, including one that belonged to a commander. who was sentenced at nuremberg, another belonging to an ss commander who was convicted, maintained accounts belonging to a german executive who was tried and acquitted at nuremberg and scientist who was imprisoned a senior ss officer and on and on it goes basically what the senate is saying is look, we read a report of where this investigation was going, and this is what we see in that report. it gets complicated at this point because the report was being done by critics. swiss based on leads given to them by the simon wiesenthal center, and they were moving forward with this, and then they changed
1:39 am
their direction on this. there were some limits involved. the ombudsman who was in charge of all of this, he gets pushed out. he wrote this report and the senate subpoenaed that report. swiss says look, there's a problem here. what you have gives an incomplete picture of where we stand in all of this, it says. we're aware of the account of the former ombudsman's limited engagement containing numerous factual errors, misleading and gratuitous statements and unsupported allegations that are based on an incomplete understanding of the facts. the bank strongly rejects these misrepresentations. well the ombudsman himself has come out and said that he has a statement where he essentially says, look , this decision for them to basically stop the review midstream at credit suisse leaves a lot of misunderstandings in place. it does not answer questions about the thoroughness of the review. the result of all this, which may be the only part that really matters right now is that pretty
