and so he told elliott yes. they spent hours on the phone, imagine this, archie said they wrote on cocktail napkins, they were in different coasts. the rules of how this watergate special prosecution office would be set up. and that's how it all started. so richard, you joined special prosecution team early on, you were a young lawyer. what was it that attracted you to taking on this job with cox in this investigation? >> i was the head of the official corruption section and i had recently prosecuted the administrative assistant to this democratic speaker of the house. and, this was an area of potential significance. we didn't know at the time whether the allegations that john dean, who was looking for immunity, we're going to be born out. it was a he said, she said, john dean was under tremendous pressure. to give an account of what occurred. and i watched from new york as an assistant he was attorney, like many, many americans. and i was skeptical and said, here is this young guy, he is only a few years older

>> well, elliott, what do you make of that? because the political argument here, and surely what republicans or the trump team would argue, is that it's a democratic secretary of state who, you know, she had multiple social media posts that the trump campaign had cited, why she should be removed from this. she made clear how she felt about january 6th. she called it a violent insurrection. she said trump should be impeached. the colorado supreme court was a 4-6 ruling. january 6th committee, we know how republicans feel about that, given liz cheney and adam kinzinger, two republicans who are no longer members of congress, were in that. what's the argument here of whether or not this is the authority that they have to make this decision and not the decision for the voters? >> yeah. well, number one, take it up with alexander hamilton and john j. and james madison hundreds of years ago for giving that to our states to determine how they would apportion or how they would work out how elections would be run. we've had ample opportu

elliott, we're going to start with the mossad meeting in qatar, how dangerous could that be, elliott.potentially dangerous, nick. he's the negotiations guy for the qataris and the qataris have been dealing with hamas. there's no direct contact, naturally, so the mossad chief has been speaking with doha. that which give a spark to the 121 hostages still to be held captive ever since they were abducted october 7 because there will be hopes that at least something is happening. but, of course, it was only last week, there were a few developments which was david barnea was expected to go to doha. we learned that trip was cancelled by the israeli government. we also heard by sources within the united states that hamas was not prepared to talk right now. there was no weren't on the other side of the negotiating table. of course, it was difficult enough to get that first truce in place and get those 110 hostages freed by hamas, in exchange for israel releasing palestinian prisoners. now, it's become even more difficult because israel has to teak to the qataris. the qataris have to speak to t

let's bring in elliott dokken. what can you tell us about this death of this american israeli hostage and where do negotiations stand as we heard from the prime minister telling families they are open again? >> prime minister benjamin netanyahu says those conversations are ongoing, we know efforts are ongoing, president biden spoke with qatar and was a key mediator in getting the first truce with -- which ended on december 1st which involved hostages being returned, hostages abducted by hamas during its murderous rampage in exchange for the release of palestinian prisoners inside israeli jails, we do not know if we are any closer to seeing another truce coming into effect, we do now fighting if anything intensifies, so far as we is aware there is no additional on truce and hostage prisoner swap. there's also canadian citizens, 70 years old, mother of four, grandmother of seven. in president biden spoke with her daughter, one of her daughters a couple of weeks ago, playing for -- praying for the well-being of judy w

margaret, david urban, elliott williams, thank you so much for being with us.ew year to each and every one of you. see y'all next year. >> thanks john. >>> late today, an gus cane, maine's independent senator came out about the decision to keep donald trump off the maine primary ballot. echoing gavin newsom and david urban a moment ago saying the right venue for all of this is at the ballot box. that was the argument from angus king, which underscores the scrutiny that shannon bellows put herself under making this call. here's what she told cnn's kaitlan collins just a few minutes ago. >> we have received threatening communication. those threatening communications are truly unacceptable. and i certainly worry about the safety of people that i love, people around me, and people who are charged with protecting me and working alongside me. >> we spoke to her last night about her decision, which catapulted her onto the national stage. our randi kaye has more now on how she got there and how very far she has come. >> you find yourselves in perilous times, the first

elliott gotkine is following developments and joins me live from london. good morning, elliott..s. defense secretary austin will meet with israeli officials in the coming hours amid increasing pressure on prime minister netanyahu to define the next phase of this war and to make a deal with hamas to get more hostages released. how far might israel go in all of this? >> reporter: rosemary, the u.s. is israel's most important ally, and it knows certainly as president biden was noting, as some in the international community are perhaps wavering in terms of support of israel's war with hamas, israel needs to make sure that it still has the u.s. on side. so i think prime minister benjamin netanyahu will be very respectful and listen, but probably won't waver from his position, which is that this war will continue until hamas is destroyed militarily and no longer poses a threat to israel. and of course, getting all of those hostages back. of course, within that scope, there are many details to be discussed. secretary of defense lloyd austin keen to get more details from prime minister

good morning to you, elliott. u.s.efense secretary austin will meet with israeli officials in the coming hours amid increasing pressure on prime minister netanyahu to define the next phase of this war and to make a deal with hamas to get more hostages released. how far might israel go on all of this? >> reporter: rosemary, i don't think netanyahu is going to waver from his position, which is that hamas must be destroyed militarily for this war to be considered -- for the job to be considered to have been done in this war. but underneath that overriding objective from israel, there is much wiggle room. and the other things that defense secretary austin will be pressing israel to do -- minimizing civilian casualties, enabling more aid to go into the gaza strip -- seem to be not too hard for israel to do. so in terms of the minimizing civilian casualties, israel will maintain its position that it already goes above and beyond by warning where it's going to be attacking to enable people to move out of harm's way, and it wi

. >> let's dig deeper on this with cnn legal analyst elliott -- elliott williams.do you make about this about-face from rudy giuliani? first promising he would testify and then refusing. >> it happens all the time. the idea of testifying in your own defense is frankly human. anyone who's sued thinks i want to clear my name and i want tell my story. when you get into the courtroom, it happens all the time, boris, were either seeing the jury, hearing the judge, for the prospect of knowing that you could be confronted with your old statements, criticize door challenged on things you've said before. it's a very frightening prospect and probably the right decision for him to not take the stand. >> i want to follow up on what kaitlan just said. rudy giuliani was barely paying attention. he was on his tablet. did that feed into what the jury decides? the fact is not even showing that he cares about the closing arguments. >> should it? no. will it? yes. they are very two different things. legally, a jury is not supposed to assess someone's behavior. i will be candid, even

reporter elliott gotkine has developments and joins us live from london. elliott, good morning.ays great to see you. can you help us understand this munich reference and what they mean by that? >> sure, kasie, first to the 1972 olympics, where 19 members of the israeli olympic team were killed by the black september palestinian terrorist group. now, a couple were killed in the initial attack, the rest were killed during a botched rescue effort by the western german authorities. and in the wake of that the prime minister authorized what was called operation god. authorizing to hunt down the black september operatives and masterminds responsible for the attacks wherever they were in the world. now, it was shelved after a year or so after a case of mistaken identity led to israel mistakenly killing an innocent man in norway. but that's ahead of the shin bet, the equivalent of the fbi is getting to. of course, it was made into a steven spielberg film in 2005 based on those events. but that's what they're saying, shin bet will hunt down those responsible for the attacks wherever they

elliott gotkine is live from london. elliott, should that be read as a sign that the u.s.s concerned with israel's progress? >> i don't think the united states has shied away from expressing concerns its making. you can see the israeli defense minister sitting alongside secretary austin right now in tel aviv, at the defense military headquarters which is where he went straight from landing. so the u.s. has articulated its concerns. as you mentioned, secretary austin will be wanting real specifics on the milestones and metrics of israel's war on hamas to date. and get a sense, i suppose, when israel feels that the job, this part of the job will be done and can move on to a somewhat less intensive phase of the war against hamas. we'll also be pressing israel to take more care about civilian casualties. one of the latest ones, an employee from the french consulate in gaza was killed in an air strike. that's according to the french foreign ministry, pressing israel to take more care and more aid. kerem shalom, the israeli opening was open directly to go into gaza sunday. that

elliott could sue you tomorrow. you could be sued by 10,000 people tomorrow. >> let's not. >> thank you. >> a lot of lawyers. we like to sue each other. >> it's kind of what we do. the idea behind the presidential immunity decision is you don't want the president to be so bombarded with lawsuits he can't do the job of president. that just doesn't come up in the criminal context. the only people who can bring a federal criminal prosecution is the department of justice. >> the broader point, sort of why we impeach as americans, what the point is it's not to punish someone who did something wrong. it is to insure integrity of our systems of government. the point of an impeachment is to remove someone from office if they have transgressed in office. the criminal process is about sending people to jail and something totally different. now to push back a little bit on what this supreme court might do, it's a conservative court and so on, we aren't talking here about abortion or the death penalty or these sort of controver

. >> elliott gotkine is monitoring developments in israel and is joining us now from london. elliott, the protests, what are they demanding and is there any indication that netanyahu will actually listen to them? >> reporter: i don't think there is any indication just yet that netanyahu will listen to them, although they would argue that it was because of their pressure on the government in the first place that they then engaged in those conversations that led to that truce and led to those israeli hostages coming home. they want the hostages back in israel right now. when we heard from members of the government, cheeft general staff, there was much soul searching, contrition, but as we've been hearing they say the fight will go on and that was still the position last night of the israel defense minister. >> translator: this event is one of the most tragic and difficult events i can remember because we were so close to succeeding in creating different circumstances. the soldiers did not know the circumstances. it is a difficult event we're experiencing and what has been done

elliott, what is the latest on the ground?> reporter: intense fighting continuing earlier this morning israel saying that it carried out more than 250 strikes on targets over the previous day including on a military communications center run by hamas adjacent to a mosque that was in the southern part of the strip. now, there's also been intense fighting throughout in other cities in the gaza strip, we have also heard from, for example, hamas itself talking about fierce battles from zero distance taking place. israel also saying that it's closing in on the command and control centers it says hamas has been maintaining in the northern part of the strip. i also released striking video footage of soldiers firing automatic weapons and rocket propelled grenades at militants in the streets of gaza strip and also a raid on a house in gaza, throwing grenades in there, you see the explosions taking place and afterwards the blurred images of the militants israel says it killed in that particular battle. bianca, 17,700 is the hamas-run he

. >> elliott let's talk about the legal issues here. let's start with the filing from the trump team saturday night. they asked the d. c. circuit court of appeal to throw out the entire election subversion case. anything in that filing? >> i think what is most raking in the filing is this idea of an official act. the former president entire argument is based on the fact that everything he did was an official act of the presidency. he says that because these were official acts, he cannot be prosecuted for them. notably, what they say is that even setting up, quote, alternate slaves of electors or even calling state officials to pressure them to overturn the results of the election, our official acts. that is their arguments. they cannot win if the court does not buy that argument. so, it's a little bit of a stretch for that argument, the idea that anything the president does can fall under this umbrella of being an official act. so, we will see what the court does with that, but, that's sort of what they have got here and what they are b

elliott joins us live from london. what are you learning about israel's expanded or expanding ground operation across all of gaza? >> reporter: rosemary, israel has yet to finish the job of the gaza strip. it's expanding its operations to the southern part of the strip. and all of the gaza strip. according to a spokesman for the idf, the fighting won't be over anytime soon. >> until we get all of the hamas battalion strongholds and until we work on them and take them off the battlefield, there will be active fighting. we said to israeli civilians and anyone listening in the world, this will take time. it won't be a quick and easy operation. it's a difficult operation in difficult combat terrain, where we are fighting a very committed enemy that has no issue with sacrificing civilians for the military cause. we are trying to limit our forces without exposing the civilians to that danger. >> reporter: to that end, israel says it's giving out warnings to palestinians in the southern part of the gaza strip, asking them to

. >> elliott, talk about that from the point of view of having served in doj and prosecuting cases. >> sure. picking up on the kinds of details that are coming out that evan pointed to, i think a challenge here for prosecutors in court is going to be which of these details are actually even going to make it into court. they are salacious and -- i guess salacious is the word for the kind of details you're talking about here. there's a chance a judge could keep some of this out, because if you're establishing a that an individual, one, didn't file his taxes, two, tried to evade his taxes, it probably isn't relevant that he was doing so in order to pay off sex workers or buy drugs or whatever else. now, maybe prosecutors can say that you have to know why -- where the money was going in order to establish sort of his intent to not pay his taxes burk it creates this little bit of a legal quagmire over is this just designed to embarrass this defendant or is it relevant information. a judge is going to have to sort out every little bit and piece here. it's a valid question, back to what you

good morning, elliott.hat is the latest on israel's expanding ground operation across all of gaza? >> reporter: rosemary, israel has yet to finish the job of the gaza strip. it's expanding its operations to the southern part of the strip. according to a spokesman for the idf, israel is expanding operations to all of the gaza strip. and any hopes that israel may go in a little more lightly, as no less than u.s. secretary of state antony blinken was calling for the other day, may have been dashed by the comments we heard from israel's chief of the general staff saying that israel's operations in the southern part of the gaza strip, well in his words be, no less powerful than those operations in the north. already, we've seen rising civilian casualties in the southern gaza strip. israel has been issuing evacuations to large parts of the gaza strip. but either the message isn't getting through or not being fully understood. when cnn spoke with a spokesman for the idf, he was asked what more israel could do to h

. >> elliott gotkine is joining us live from tel aviv. we're also learning about the israeli military report on the three hostages who were mistakenly killed earlier this month. >> reporter: we are. this report outlines the tragic sequence of events that led to israeli soldiers killing three israeli hostages on the battle f field in. >> kendall: on december 14. the report outlines missed opportunities to rescue the three, a note saying save us scrolled on a piece of paper, or s.o.s. help three hostages being written on a building and that captured by drone footage. what seems to have happened according to this report is that the soldiers thought that when they saw these three hostages wandering around the battlefield shirtless holding up a make shift white flag, that this was an attem by hamas militants to entrap them as they had done in the past to go into a place where they could then be ambushed. what seems to have happened according to this report is that the soldiers when the three hostages came out, they fired at them, they killed t

we bring in elliott gaukin in tel aviv. you see going forth as in khan younis, there is a foo fi firefight between the idf and ha hamas. >> sara, what is happening is they are paying heed to the u.s. pressure to giving sufficient warning to the residents of the gaza strip to try to get them out of harm's way, and that it is therefore carrying out the operations against hamas and other militant groups unimpeded, and what they said is that they were advising people in central gaza to move to the refugee camp, but we have seen in past that many people, and more than 80% of those inside of the gaza strip have been displaced and forced to move from their homes and especially in the north to central gaza or the southern gaza, and yes, there are those who may not get the message, but there are others who will get the message and we have heard it from so many people inside of the gaza strip and palestinians that nowhere in gaza is safe. so safety is relative. so maybe they are taking view that better to remain where we are, and yes

elliott gotkine joins us with the latest.ngs up to date on the expectations, why is it different between the numerous talks held between israelis over the last week? >> well, there were been plenty of call from president biden and secretary blinken and also from defense secretary lloyd austin, calling for israel to take more care, to try to minimize civilian casualties and boost military aid. and i suppose secretary austin's visit is designed to redouble that pressure on israel. we have seen some news, to be fair, for example, over the weekend for the first time, humanitarian aid went directly from the crossing into the gaza victim. but the amount of aid going into gaza, still around half what it was before october the 7th and the humanitarian situation obviously is much more severe than back then. on top of that, in terms of minimizing civilian casualties, lloyd austin will want to get specifics as to how israel is prosecuting the war against hamas and what conditions it's taking to minimize casualties and what the plan is m

elliott gotkine is joining us live from london. good morning. tell us what is happening there for the israelis to issue this warning. >> reporter: i think ever since the start of this war on october 7 after the hamas massacre took place and hezbollah, iranian backed proxy and lebanon started firing toward israel, it is a concern nat israel retaliation to those firings from those firings could lead to an escalation.nat israel retaliatio those firings from those firings could lead to an escalation. just today we've seen more firing from hezbollah, from lebanon, toward i resrael and israel retaliating. and a member of the war cabinet spoke with antony blinken. and warned that if this continues, israel will have to respond, again saying that the international community must act to ensure the state of lebanon, stop suching a agrees alone its borders. of course the last time there was a major flare-up between israel and hezbollah was in 2006. and lawmakers have been warning since october 7 that if hezbollah crosses the line, and we don't know where th

elliott is here. elliott: we have been public now for a few months.e eyes are on me more than they were prior. on the other hand, i think about it in terms of the future of arm that is not measured in who we are today but what we will be in the future. i think about where our mobile three or five years from now. on one level it has changed because we are a public company and we have to meet expectations and do exactly what we say we will do. on the other hand maybe not so much as changed. because five years away i am thinking just like i was before the ipo and my guy am thinking about it today. >> how do you balance the demands of new investors in the company and legacy investors and softbank being the big gravitational force? how do you balance the demands? rene: arm is a company that's hard to look at quarter to quarter because the technology we are working on today is technology that will end up in products three or four years from now. while the financial results are important, they are really through throat of strategies we put in place a couple

elliott gotkine is covering all of this here for us here in london. bring us up-to-date on the latest on the ground. >> reporter: in the last couple of hours, the idf has given an update talking about more than 250 strikes taking place on targets in the gaz stria strip e previous day. in one incident it says it struck what it described as a hamas military communications site adjacent to a mosque, but at the same time, there has been fierce fighting on the ground. hamas itself describing the fighting as talking about fierce battles from zero distance taking place. especially in the northern part of the gaza strip where israel says it is closing in on the command and control centers of hamas in jabalya and in the northern part of the daz strip which it describes as stronghold of the group. and it released footage of its soldiers doing battle on the ground. in one video you can see soldiers firing with automatic weapons and rocket propelled grenades down the street in gaza. and in another, you see them firing into a house where it said it has been coming

elliott gotkine joins me live from london.iott, tell us more about this ground invasion and is there anything more that the adjusting their attacks for the civilian population? >> the short answer is no. israel really hasn't finished in the north and expanding its operations to the south and all parts of the gaza strip. for example, we saw an air strike, as part of these 200 air strikes and israel overnight saying a school in the town from which it came under attack where it discovered more tunnel shafts explosives and weapons. but as you say, it's expanding not just to the southern part of the gaza strip but also to all areas of gaza, it says. and we spoke to another spokesperson who says this fighting won't be over anytime soon. >> in we get all of the hamas battalion strongholds and until we work on them and take them off the battlefield there will be active fighting and we said in the beginning to israeli citizens and to anybody listening in the world that this, unfortunately, will take time. it won't be a quick and easy o

so it is in the testing faphase but this is one option. >> elliott, thank you. israel's military says it struck syrian army targets amid fresh exchanges along its northern border. israel says the strikes are in response to launches from inside syria and missile and mortar fire coming from lebanese territory. cross-border exchanges have become a daily occurrence. and ivan watson rode along with u.n. peace keepers in southern lebanon and filed this report. >> reporter: on patrol with united nations peacekeepers, armored personnel carriers rumbling through towns and villages of southern lebanon. this is what a daily patrol looks like for the u.n. peace keepers and they take security very, very seriously. communities near the border with neighboring israel appear all but deserted, that is because this border region is the scene of a deadly conflict between the israeli military and the lebanese militia hezbollah. that is the israeli security fence just a couple hundred yards away and this united nations peace keeping post is as close as we can safely get to the leban

elliott gotkine is joining us with the latest. israeli defense minister says hamas is at breaking point. what evidence is there? >> israel has been showing some videos of its raids going on and gunfights taking place. we've seen the images of what israel says are, uz , you know,s fighters surrendering and handing over their arms a. and the defense minister saying that what they are hearing from though surrendering, that they are running out of food and weapons and said if you want to live, you should surrender now and that is the only way that will happen. at the same time israel saying that it carried out raids on the hamas compound, it discovered something like 250 shells, rocket propelled grenades and also destroyed a rocket launching post that was firing rockets towards israeli city in the south of sderot. and we heard from the director general saying not only are they deeply embedded in the northern part of jabalia, there are many tanks there and they are so close to him, he says he is 700 meters away, that he can hear the sc

for more, elliott gotkine joins us from london. what are those protesters demanding? >> they're demanding the government company more to bring those hostages home now. they don't think the government has been doing enough. they think it's been prioritizing the military campaign, the destruction of hamas, over getting those hostages home. they feel that it's their pressure that got that first truce in place in the first instance, enabling israel to get 110 hostages back home, and feels that now is the time to put more pressure on this government. there's a lot of anger among those people. you saw thousands gathering in the renamed hostages square, which is opposite the israeli ministry of defense's headquarters. there is disbelief that something like this could happen. and i think this is really for them just kind of heaping trauma upon trauma of october the 7th, when hamas carried out that terrorist attack and kidnapped those israelis and some foreign workers as well. so they want the government to do more. the head of the -- the chief of staff and the defense ministe

forget they have not responded yet, but i do that we should pay attention to what elliott said, lookingt the timeline, and that's really what it is for the trump people as well. when i talked to them about one this trial is going to happen, they do believe the march trial is going to happen before the election, that of course being the special counsel's investigation and his attention to over to the 2020 election, but they do still think there is some wiggle room because of the fact this was going to the appeals court, because of the fact they believe they can delete it. they are going to try to do every thing they possibly can to push this past the election because they think that donald trump can win the election, and he is not in trial every single day. that is very interesting in this, to me, the fact they have clearly had called them on their game and said, okay. you're waiting here. you pushed this to appeals court for now, we're going to get this over with, so that takes one element out. one thing trump's team is relying on, having this be a lengthy process. >> the trump team cou

ell elliott gotkine, bring us up to date. >> reporter: fierce battles from zero distances is how hamasdescribing some of the fighting taking place in northern parts of the gaza strip. to that end, idf has been releasing video footage of its soldiers on the ground in one scene, seen firing multiple rounds towards militant targets. even firing rocket-propelled grenades as well. in another you can see them raiding a house which they said contained militants. they're firing rounds in there, throwing grenades in there, then showing the blurred images of what they would say were dead militants inside that house. fierce fighting going on. also in the last hour or so, the idf saying that over the last 24 hours, they have carried out more than 250 strikes on targets in the gaza strip. they are saying that they also carried out air strikes on a hamas military communications site adjacent to a mosque in the southern part of the gaza strip. at the same time, we've been hearing from israel's national security adviser, zachary henegbe. he says israel is getting very close to the strongholds of hamas

i asked to elliott what stood out for her when she looked back at 20. 23. is the number of extremes that we're seeing on the globally. so we, we sold the whole time, highest global, average temperature back up, broken in 2023 with now and for 2023. so you don't have to get a record is but then you look at all those extreme, each events of calls 8. and so at the next, more extreme, stoles, such as, aside from freddie that happened earlier in 20231 of the longest lasting. i'm deadly assign clubs that we've ever seen on this. i would say more flooding events because a woman atmosphere holds my moisture and therefore when we get very slowly, it tends to be a lot, a lot heavier mortality, inches of rain leading to flooding as well. so it's the impact and then you look at the marine heat wave as well, which is one of the reasons why we're seeing more extreme heat temperatures being recalled, being broken, june 2023 because our oceans, i'm much, much roland now than they ever used to be there, so been all that that piece and they have done for decades and that's n

elliott gotkine has more for us.l us more about this strategy, how risky is it, how does it work? >> reporter: kasie, it is one strategy among many that israel is either employing or looking at employing to try to destroy the tunnels that hamas has constructed. it uses the tunnels to store weapons, to store its leadership, to store goods and other things like that. and even hostages where many of the hostages, 135 still being held captive by hamas, believed to be held. israel has about seven pumps, it would work sea water from the mediterranean sea into those tunnels. it is just at the testing phase right now. what israel wants to see is if it works and if it will be a good addition to its arsenal of ways to potentially kill militants and put rocket launchers out of commission. will it work? there is precedent in that egypt in 2015 flooded some of the tunnels that ran from egypt into the southern part of the gaza strip. again, in order to clamp down on smuggling going from egypt, weapons and the like going from egypt

elliott gotkine is live for us with more. why didn't the israeli military know that the hostages might approach them? >> reporter: i think simply there was insufficient war gaming to allow for every possible scenario of hostages being discovered or being in a position to be rescued. and as a result, soldiers simply weren't prepared for the possibility that they might find hostages wandering around the combat zone. they thought they would only find them when they got intelligence and when a special operation to try to rescue them is going to play out. so what we've got in this report in addition to the main conclusion being that israel failed in its mission here is that there was a sequence of events that led to israeli soldiers killing three israeli hostages. so december 10, they discovered this note saying help at the exit of a tunnel. they thought this was a trap to try to get soldiers to go into an area where they could be ambushed. in another incident on that same day december 10, they heard cries for help in hebrew. on d
