fred. >> alex, what is the status of hostage negotiations?> reporter: well, it appears there is some movement. as far as we know, there hasn't been any progress. it's mainly talks about talks. there are no active discussions right now that have brought the sides back to the table, as it were. hamas and israel are not being -- have not been terribly responsive when it comes to new ideas, we're told, but i reported earlier today that the head of israeli intelligence is traveling to europe or has traveled to europe to meet with the qatari prime minister. the qataris have been the main mediator. they speak with hamas. there has been some talk about how to get a framework for a deal back on track. hamas, as far as we know, has not been responsive at all. israel is engaging with the mediators. the mediators are trying to get some kind of structure back in place, but for the time being, fred, it's really just talks about talks. the negotiations haven't started in earnest for a second round of hostage releases. >> alex marquardt, thank you very much.

>> reporter: yeah, fred. clearly a reversal here from donald trump, who had seemed adamant he wanted to take the stand for a second time in this new york civil trial. now as you mentioned posting on truth social just moments ago he will not be testifying, in all caps he says, will not be testifying on monday. he goes on to continue to attack the prosecutors and the judge in this case. calling it election interference, witch hunt, some familiar terms, familiar attacks we have seen from trump, fought only in this case but in others. i want to play the sound from trump's lawyer, lena habba from the other day when she said that lawyers had advised trump not to take the stand again, but he was adamant about doing so anyway. listen to what she said to reporters just a few days ago. >> he still wants to take the stand, even though my advice is at this point, you should never take the stand with a gag order, but he's so firmly against what is happening in this court and so firmly for the old america that we know, not

fred: absolutely. stack and put your savings in bitcoin and etf is a great vehicle. if you are a traitor, you want something with a bit -- if you are a trader, you want something. warren buffett famously said i do not buy gold but i buy gold miners because your cost of extraction is fixed. bitcoin miners are hugely profitable. as the lead into this segment, you saw bitcoin was up 150% and we are up more than double. romaine: what is the relationship you have with the crypto holders and some of the other funds that are not necessarily on the mining side. fred: we do not have a relationship, per se, with them. but if you hold bitcoin, you will only get the appreciation. if you hold the miner, you also get a portion. a stock like ours, we trade anywhere from 30 million to 50 million shares per day. we are attractive to be able to do that. romaine: does having an etf spot, multiple etfs in that space, does that take away from the attractiveness of buying marathon digital directive leak? -- directly? fred:

. >> reporter: yeah, fred. trump's own lawyer suggesting we could hear more of the same from the former president who has gone out of his way to attack the judge, the attorney general, and the case itself in new york surrounding his business and his business dealings. last time he took the stand, we also heard trump defend his properties and his brand, suggesting for example that his mar-a-lago resort in florida was worth a billion dollars but it's important to remember the judge in this cay has also ruled that trump and his codefendants including his kids are liable in this case, so it raises the question, why is trump so adamant about taking the stand again in this case, despite the risks and especially the risk of being cross-examined by the attorney general again. take a listen to how trump's lawyer explained his reasoning. >> he still wants to take the stand even though my advice is at this point, you should never take a stand with a gag order. he's so firmly against what is happening in this court and so

fred?>> john, this morning we're standing by to see president biden for the first time since his son hunter biden was accused of a four-year tax evasion scheme that alleges he spent millions of dollars on things like drugs, escorts and exotic cars, instead of paying his taxes. hunter biden's new federal indictment dropping overnight as the president soon leaves the white house to campaign. in the nine-count indictment justice department prosecutors say hunter, quote, willfully failed to pay his 2016, 2017, 2018 and 2019 taxes on time, despite having access to funds. the indictment then listing his alleged expenses, including nearly $700,000 for payments to various women. $188,000 for adult entertainment. $71,000 on rehab. ultimately a grand total of $4.9 million. the charges could mean 17 years in prison if convicted. cnn's katelyn polantz leads us off now. katelyn, ever since this stunning collapse of hunter biden's plea deal over the summer this legal peril for him has been looming. walk

fred? >> all right, alayna treene and a pretty full house there for that trump rally coming up in an hour in reno, nevada. and priscilla alvarez, thank you so much in d.c. trump's anti-immigrant comments come as high stakes talks on capitol hill to reach a border deal are under way. just moments ago, homeland security secretary alejandro mayorkas arrived at the capitol for another afternoon meeting with senate negotiators. a handful of senators have been working overtime to hammer out some sort of compromise on immigration that also provides aid for ukraine and israel. >> from a republican and democrat negotiators who are really diligent, doing a great job, and then basically with the white house involved committed to getting this border under control. that's what i'm really very hopeful for, and i think we're going to see something next week, and we'll stay there until we get it done. >> the bottom line here is we feel like we're being jammed. we're not anywhere close to a deal. it will go

fred? >> and then, alex, the u.s.retary of state antony blinken was on cnn's "state of the union" today condemning sexual violence committed by hamas on october 7th. what else is the secretary saying? >> reporter: yeah, these reports of horrific sexual assault and rape are much discussed here in israel by the media and by officials. secretary of state antony blinken telling our colleague jake tapper he doesn't know why other countries and international organizations haven't been talking about it more. here is a little bit more of what he had to say. >> atrocities that we saw on october 7th are almost beyond human description or beyond our capacity to digest. and we have talked about them before. but the sexual violence that we saw on october 7th is beyond anything that i've seen either. >> you mentioned the hostages who are still being held, more than 20 of them are still believed for young women and israeli and american officials have argued that hamas may not want to release them because once they're freed, they wil

>> absolutely, fred. this is a stunning decision by this supreme court, essentially overriding the medical necessity statement by a physician. a woman goes to a doctor, and we know in this case this woman has gone to three emergency rooms. she's had fluid leaking from her body, she's had other pregnancy, and her doctor has stated emphatically that this medical procedure is needed, it's a life-saving procedure that is required. yet the state attorney general has intervened and has taken a position contrary to her doctor, and now we see the supreme court, again, taking a position contrary to a physician. so essentially having a set of lawyers, judges, substituting their decision in place of a trained medical professional. that is scary. i think it should be scary to all women because essentially you're having courts say they know more about what's important in terms of saving a woman's life than that woman's own physician. >> what do you suppose this is also saying to the medical community and how doctors,

>> reporter: that's right, fred. the white house saying it's similar to other authoritarian regimes, but the white house slamming the former president for his comments on immigration yesterday. in a statement this morning, a white house spokesperson saying echoing the grotesque rhetoric, and threat then not who disagree with the government are -- and on public safe. it is the opposite of everything we stand for as americans. that has been the resounding message from the white house, and from the biden campaign. in marking the stark contrast between president biden and his predecessor, former president donald trump on the issue of immigration. of course, this is all delicate as border security and immigration have been liabilities for president biden going into the 2024 president y58 election. in opportunities like this one, the white house making it chlorothat what the former president is saying here is dangerous. president biden had actually recently this metropolitan put out a statement through his campaign on a tr

fred?indeed, this morning donald trump is not heading to his civil fraud trial like he was scheduled to be doing about right now. he scrapped the plans unexpectedly. in a last-minute post yesterday writing he, quote, already testified to everything and has nothing more to say. the reversal also came after he doubled down on his dictator remarks at a dinner in new york city. cnn's kristen holmes joining us with more on all of this. kristen, no court today. more dictator talk, and now more polling momentum. what are you hearing from that team? >> reporter: -- decision for him not to testify. his lawyers have been pushing back on the idea that he would show up in court and it seems they won out on that, donald trump decided not to actually take the stand, but this is far from the end of his legal troubles. when i talked to his team what they're really trying to figure out now is how to navigate these various upcoming trials, including the one here in d.c. where he is charged with trying to ove

>> yes, hi, fred, i mean, this is huge. this is prince harry's biggest win in this battle that he's got against the news in britain, the tabloid news and the court found decisively for him. they said there are 33 articles about prince harry, 50 were used with illegal information gathering, which basically means they hacked into his voice mail. someone who left a voice mail, a girlfriend saying looking forward to meeting up. they had that and used that information. prince harry is not the only one. a lot of the press, they said before, oh, it's just a few vulgar -- it didn't really matter. what the court found was it was extensive. it was widespread, is it sounds like a bonanza of phone hacking and the senior members in the newspaper, the editor, piers morgan, he knew about it. this is a very significant win for prince harry. it's a great day for truth, and he is a man who feels the press chased his mother and who in turn did the same to his family, and he's not going to -- he's just not going to take it lying down. >> he is

you nailed it, fred. training can bring you to a certain level of readiness, and the idf does that as a matter of routine. i can't speak to the specific unit that was involved in this very tragic accident, misidentification of a hostage for a hamas fighter. the whole thing puts a human face on this kind of combat. the level of training, you can only go to a certain level. it can only bring that scar tissue that you need to acquire that only combat can provide. you move into urban combat, i've described it before. it's like getting into a gunfight in an elevator. everything is close quarters, decisions are being made instantaneously by 18 and 19-year-old soldiers. this is just the face of warfare. there's no other way to describe it. i can guarantee you the idf will look very closely in terms of what were the conditions very specifically here, and they will make adjustments accordingly. again, it gets back to your statement about what is the level of readiness and training, how do you really replicate that

fred, i 'ust want to i of that delay. fred, i 'ust want to ask i of that delay.at delay. fred, i 'ust want to ask what youh of that delay. fred, i just l want to ask what you think could be a game changer in this conflict for ukraine. it is worth pointing out as well that ukrainian army has had nothing like the air defence capabilities other nato armies for example would employ this kind of scenario. what do they needin kind of scenario. what do they need in terms of weaponry to change the calculation? many others have — change the calculation? many others have said _ change the calculation? many others have said that - change the calculation? many others have said that and - change the calculation? many others have said that and i i change the calculation? many| others have said that and i can only add quebec no nato commander, no nato leader would have ordered nato fortis to conduct a mechanised penetration and exploitation operation without air superiority, let alone in circumstances in which the adversary could use his aircraft against the mechanised force du

this is incredible, dating back to 1890, fred, with its pageantry, the rich tradition, banging it out for bragging rights on the football field. it is one of the greatest rivalries on the planet. we did catch up with one family who's living in a house divided. colonel frank rubio, nasa astronaut, class of 1998 from west point. his son andrew currently at west point, his daughter lydia currently at the naval academy. he just came back from the longest space mission by any american astronaut in history, 371 days in space. he's back here now to see his first army/navy game since he graduated. >> we are absolutely going to go at it today. army is going to win for sure. but the other 364 days we are brothers and sisters in arms. we work together. yeah, we are best of friends except for tonight. >> both teams are going through the same thing being in armed forces. that makes the stakes a little higher. it's a ton of fun. >> this rivalry took my first best friend and made him my biggest rival. it's so fun to have someone i know at the other school and makes it all the more special and exciti

fred? >> and now, donald trump said that he would take the stand monday in the case against him, and his former attorney said that she tried to get him to not testify with the gag order against him, but he refused. so kara scannell is there at the courthouse, and so, how is this going to play out? >> well, fred, donald trump is expected to testify monday, and this is the second time on the witness stand in this case. the first time he was called by the state attorney general's office to answer questions as they lined them up, this time it is his lawyers setting it up, and directing the questions to him, and allowing him to answer the questions in the way that he wants. so he'll have more control over the questions and the answers, and his lawyer did advise him not to testify, because of the gag order, but it is limited to stop trump from making any comments about at the judge's staff which has nothing to do with the underlying accusations of the case, but the last time that trump testified,
