barbara: welcome back, here is a reminder of the top stories on al jazeera.ael's military has carried out a wave of heavy air strikes on the gaza strip bringing the death toll to 212 including 61 children. more residential homes, clinics and roads were destroyed as well as tunnels and other hamas targets. meanwhile, rockets fired from gaza have hit buildings in cities injuring 17 people. residential buildings were struck sending people running to shelters. and a u.s. dim mat has made the palestinian president as part of the de-escalation effort. it comes as president biden says that he supports a cease-fire, but used the call with benjamin netanyahu to again reiterate israel's right to defend itself. let's take a look at the day's other news now. in the u.s., u.k., and canada have announced a wave of new sanctions on high-ranking me an march military officials and the businesses that fund them. the coordinated sanctions are in response to what they call the violent and lethal attacks against the country's pro democracy movement. the u.s. and canada focused on

how would that work, barbara?e allen weisselberg could be a very valuable witness to prosecutors because of his position as chief financial officer. you know, in a paper case you quoted those music lines in the air, the beauty of documents is they don't lie. so the documents themselves can be the best evidence. you don't really need somebody to be the eye witness that tells you what happened. you can document that. but it can be very useful in a case like this to have someone like an allen weisselberg to explain why they were writing one number for insurance companies, for example, and a different number for the irs. and, so, there can be a lot of value for a witness like that. i imagine that he is loyal to donald trump that it would take a lot more him to flip but sometimes when someone is staring at criminal charges against themselves and the likelihood of going to prison, then the idea of cooperating becomes a lot more attractive. we saw it with michael cohen especially if allen weisselberg sees some of his fam

barbara: there has not been an appetite at all precisely for that reason.nvolvement of the americans never resulted in a deal that stuck. critics would say it was part of the problem because they were always pro-israeli. putting that aside, the administration -- mr. biden administration made the calculation that now was not the time that could result in a successful piece of negotiation. they would say that neither leaderships were ready for that. they were planning to shift their focus to other issues like china. they had been involved in a humanitarian way resuming ties with palestinians that were cut off by president donald trump. mr. blinken has said he is willing to go back to the region after the cease-fire to try to reduce the violence and help israelis and palestinians but not framing it in political terms. i do not think the desire to do that has changed. the question is, whether the circumstances that led to this outbreak of violence between hamas and israel will force the hand, eventually, because the circumstances involved issues like the status

barbara, we should note mr. weisselberg's lawyer declined to comment to msnbc news.r to comment still stands, of course. the former president released a statement about the investigation referring to it as an investigation that is in desperate search of a crime. can we just clarify in terms of the sort of predicates and rationales that an investigator would need to open a criminal investigation of this nature? is it possible that this is just a phishing expedition or do you have to have something to go on before you go down this path? >> ethically before a prosecutor opens a criminal investigation they need to have factual predication, that is a non-frivolous allegation of criminal misconduct. something that violates a statute that is on the books. and so i think for the attorney general of new york to announce that her investigation has shifted from civil to criminal means that they have found evidence of at least that predication of criminal intent. that means that financial problems weren't attributable to negligence. but there was intent to deceive and defraud. >

barbara in minneapolis, thank ou than that. barbara in minneapolis, thank you very _ than that. build a routine as he makes the white house his home. in march, we got a glimpse of his offical morning schedule from events with the first lady and meetings with his chief of staff, ron klain. and now, the washinton post is giving us an insight into something a little more personal. the president starts most mornings, we are told, with his personal trainers — he lifts weights before heading to the oval office. president obama had apples in the oval office, and donald trump had a famous red button to summon a diet coke. visitors to the biden white house will get their choice of salt water taffies before meeting the leader of the free world... no? no, i had to look that up, too. salt water taffies are chewy salty caramels — which is thirsty work, so throughout the day, mr biden keeps himself hydrated with gatorade and also diet cokes. i wonder if he's kept the red button. maybe he still has that red button. maybe he still has that red button. a, , button. maybe he still has that red bu

barbara plett usher reports.arers drawn by a mix of the political and personal, like cortez rice — a symbolic pallbearer in a never—ending funeral. it's my beloved friend, man. he was like an uncle to me, like i say, i loved him and i miss him dearly. he was a role model to me. let me see all the hands. floyd's violent arrest and death over a minor crime was replayed at the recent trial of his killer — a white police officer convicted of murder. activists believe that pressure on the streets helped secure the guilty verdict. now cortez is focusing on using the law to change the way policing is done. that's why i recentlyjoined the naacp minneapolis chapter so i can be familiarised with the bills that's going on, and to help our people out. so it sounds to me like you're kind of giving yourself, like, a legal education. yeah, definitely. that's quite a change, no? yeah, definitely. that's a big change. many lives have changed, even if wider reforms have been slow to follow. it activated me. it activated me in ways

>> i think barbara is correct. but i do think -- i read something else she said.nd. as she said, they have changed. they changed dramatically when they came into power with the presidency. it really went to their heads. they were extremely enabled and had no accountability so weisselberg does lie. he has perjured himself with most depositions. looks like he was trying to avoid the inevitable but now that there's a personal criminal probe on him and they are going hard on his children, i agree with barbara. he's going to flip. >> he will flip. how hard is that going to be for him given the lifestyle that paralleled his work with the trump organization? i presume it's a very pleasant, comfortable lifestyle and that there may be a sense of loyalty to donald trump, certainly. >> we started with fred, fred trusted him with keeping his books and then he taught donald the business and so it's his legacy. i think when it comes down to being 75, you have to look at what's best for your own family. donald has aspirations for the white house. i think it's best if we all just
