here now, martha raddatz. >> martha: good morning, and welcome to "this week." today marks six months of the war in gaza and the deadly terror attack on israel that killed more than 1,200 israelis. with more than 100 hostages still believed to be held by hamas. it's also been six months of israel's devastating response, causing widespread destruction across gaza and taking the lives of more than 33,000 palestinians according to the hamas-run health ministry and leaving the territory on what the u.n. has called the brink of famine, but it was the loss of seven aid workers that seemed to galvanize a new level of outrage including one dual american canadian citizen working with the relief group world central kitchen, killed by repeated drone strikes of their clearly marked convoy, despite the group having coordinated their location and movements with the idf. it was founded by renown chef world central kitchen was founded by renown chef turned philanthropist, jose andrÉs. his organization providing meals around the globe in the most dire of circumstances, from the

martha?ennett in jerusalem, thank you. >>> and i'm joined now by senator chris van hollen of maryland. good morning, senator. good to see you. let's talk about those weapons. you have been outspoken about the u.s. continuing to supply weapons, but these were approved a long time ago. so what could the biden administration have done? >> well, it's good to be with you. we need a little more hope in the world this easter, including a ceasefire and return of the hostages. look. the biden administration had been planning to submit to congress a new round of weapons proposals. they decided not to do that because clearly they knew they would encounter resistance, and so they've essentially done a run with this earlier version. so my view, martha, is until the netanyahu government allows more assistance into gaza to help people who are literally starving to death, we should not be sending more bombs. >> martha: do you think they should have tried to stop this, just not sent more weapons? >> i think t

martha? >> martha: julian, thank you very much. in pete hegseth cohost of "fox and friends weekends." and the author of the new book, the "17a." i should mention that we are monitoring the comments by president biden who is speaking to some of the younger individuals in the room. -- we are going to monitor those comments and see if he thinks -- let me get your top line, on julian's reporting about israel now being in the first page of the human rights report from the state department. >> you know, we were discovering columbia, it doesn't surprise me later -- the state department is a permanent bureaucracy, by people from places like columbia who believe that the jewish state of israel is as bad or worse than its islamist opponents. israel's not just listed on page 1, it was listen before iran, before china, before the taliban and before cuba and what a mess those two statements between the envoy and antony blinken. there is no stunt -- double standard. of course, there is a double standard. update you -- the idf will be studied for

the story with martha maccallum starts now. >> martha: good afternoon i'm martha maccallum and this is the story of the day. o.j. simpson debt at 76 years old. prostate cancer is apparently the cause of death. his image once beloved, a charismatic superstar. 1 of the most popular figures in america in the seventies. he used to run through the hertz counter area and the airport, in movies and and in norma's superstar. sent, that reputation forever changed by what would be called the trial of the century. the brutal murders of nicole simpson his former wife, and her friend who she came back with to her home that night. 's death bringing back memories of those he mercilessly slaughtered. according to the simple decision not the criminal decision. and of course the bronco chaise. he was supposed to turn himself in that day, and an unbelievable twist as he took off and the police chased him through the streets in a slow chaise for hours. 95 million americans watched every moment. if you watched it, you remember exactly where you were when this was going on. then in steps the dream team. joh

>> martha: there you have it.he president was speaking to the national action network but it's kind of a strange set up. he is in the white house so when he finished his virtual participation with the group then he was shouted some questions and it's no surprise he went into exactly what we were talking to at the very top of the show which we will dig into with moments with former secretary of state pompeo weather or not he was concerned over an imminent attack on israel or israeli interests. he said we are devoted -- devoted to the defense of israel and he also pushed back of iran of what action they might take. this is a tricky dichotomy because on one hand you have the president really scolding israel over the past the role days over there actions in gaza. saying that the way they've handled it has been a mistake. then you have this threat of something coming in from iran to attack israel and then the president is supposed to double down on his support for israel. this has been a very awkward moment for israel,

martha? >> martha: just call reporting from tel aviv. alvin bragg calls for the maximum fine and possibly for jail time should former president trump violate the gag order against him and the essay he has already done that three ti times. they are three examples that they are putting forward you the judge on that. no decision on it yet. former president trump's attorney alina habba answers our questions after this. day with us. >> you know that this is history in the making and whatever the outcome of this is everything going forward will be affected by it. and at the same time, you walk in to the courtroom and you see trump sitting there, i have never -- you see them sitting there and it's like oh it's just a guy. n homeownersg newday to pay off credit card debt that's been piling up. many were shocked to learn they've been paying 22% on their credit card balances. and if payments were late, as much as 30%. that's over three times the interest rate on a newday 100 va home loan. pay off high rate credit cards and other debt with a lower

martha? >> thank you lucas.as tomlinson during me with the delaware senator and the bynen campaign nationals cochair, chris koons from the biting campaign. with the headquarters in lewington, senator, thank you very much for being here this morning. we hear these reports that we just heard from lucas tomlinson entry yates, israeli idf forces pulling out except for one brigade, what is your reaction to this very big developments on the ground in gaza? >> martha, furs it's important to see how this began six month ago with a brutal barbaric attack by those who massacred israelis and in the few months t in here thousand thousand idf troops have tried to carry out i campaign to aluminate hamas from gaza. there will still be several thousand idf troops, that's what a brigade is. in gaza after this announcement this morning, but i presume that this is a tactical decision by the idf and israeli leadership in the face of a threat of a real attack from the north, from house below or a direct attack from iran. it's import

martha, thank you so much. joining me is a former official at israel's ministry of strategic affairs. thank you for joining us right now. i wonder if you can give us any insight on what's happening. forgive me. we don't have sima right now. let's go back to celina wang at the white house. just wondering what more you might be hearing from the administration. we know president biden was in the situation room with his top national security advisers. and as the night has gone on, we have been hearing more and more about the u.s. intercepting and taking down some of these projectiles. do you have any more information about what we're doing behind the scenes? >> reporter: whit, i'm learning that meeting is wrapping up. the president was there with his national security team were several hours. they are trying to calibrate the u.s. response. really the focus of the president here is deterrence and defense and protecting those u.s. forces in the region, already sending more military assets to the middle east to try to

>> david: martha raddatz with us here tonight. martha, thank you. we do have one more point on this tonight. as we've reported here, this was the first time iran attacked israel directly, rather than through its proxies. those militia groups it supports across the region here, and right across the border, of course, in lebanon. that's where we find our foreign correspondent james longman tonight, and james, i know there's concern there and across the region about whether israel will attack the proxies in response, or will israel do what iran did here and attack iran directly? >> reporter: yeah, david. this region is bracing for israel's response. the question is, where might they strike, and how extensive could it be? could they strike inside iran, or could they strike here in lebanon and on iran's most important ally, hezbollah? could there be an incursion, push hezbollah away from the border with israel? what is clear is that all of iran's proxies in this region have been emboldened. and while arab governments are calling for restraint, there is r

martha was not there for george's inauguration either. but martha had written a letter at one point in her life to john which said that and fortunately how could they, the southerners, reconcile human bondage with the ideology of freedoms that america had fought for. and abigail hired a free african-american named james, who worked at their farm. and during the early days of the atlas administration, she wrote to her husband about a rather upsetting incident in which she was trying to get james educated. and she believed in education. she was part of a first education, first lady. and so she fought for him to attend to local school. but there was a neighbor who objected and she responds to that neighbor. and she told her husband with the question, is this the christian principle of doing to others as we would have others do to us? abigail eventually prevailed, not surprisingly, and james was educated after abigail. the next first lady, to show any interest in civil rights and equality for african-americans was mary lincoln, who had come f

how can i keep martha safe? tentatively, i look around two large cameras and microphones surround us, shooting pictures, rapid. another reporter's hands holding a camera come in through the window, snapping one photo after another right there on screen. before my eyes is the 12 year old girl i been trying to conjure. but there's that feeling again. despite all the documents despite all the people i've talked to, many of whom, after all, don't remember in me, there's the feeling the hijacking must have happened to someone else studying the moving image of that girl makes me feel more than anything else, like his story in coming upon a visual representation of her long researched subject for the first time, watching the tape. all these years later, i write down i can't believe i was there. it's an extraordinary passage, martha. really. it really is. so i'm going to unfortunately throw a question at you. you're not going to want to hear is after that immensely emotional? do you think any of this has anything do wit

let's bring in martha raddatz tonight, and martha, from your reporting, you've learned more about what the u.s. did to help defend israel? >> reporter: yes, david. the coordination was extraordinary. you had dozens of u.s. and israeli fighter jets in the air. the u.s. fighters alone shooting down those 80 armed drones with heat-seeking missiles. there were refueling tankers in the air, ships at sea launching ant anti-ballistic missiles, all the while, tracking more than 300 drones and missiles launch bid iran and its proxies. so many moving parts, and yet, they still managed to stop those missiles and drones, and not shoot each other down. but despite that success, as mary said, the pentagon will not be involved in assisting with any israeli attack on iran, not aerial refueling, nothing. a senior u.s. official warning that israel is intent on responding, adding that the world may think this is over, it is not. david? >> david: and martha, i know you've bun talking to your sources on this, how surprised were they at the scope, the size of this iranian attack, and the fact that it was a

martha, thank you.r for more of martha's exclusive interview with world central kitchen founder jose andres and white house national security communications adviser john kirby responds, that is all coming up this morning on "this week." gio. >> gio: all right, janai, some important conversations there. >>> and we're going to turn now to president biden's new attempt at a large-scale student loan forgiveness program and we're expecting an announcement tomorrow, and maryalice parks is at the white house with what we're hearing. good morning, maryalice. >> reporter: gio, good morning. this was a campaign promise, and last summer after the supreme court struck down president biden's first student loan forgiveness plan, the president vowed to keep working on it, and the white house has been busy. over the last several months they have rolled out several programs offering relief to people like public servants, for example, some low-income borrowers, but we are now learning that this week the president plans t

martha thomas| has surely won it for tottenham! into the fa cup final for the first time in history. natalie pirks, bbc news. this is what is means for the city of leverkusen and the fans of their football team. no team other than bayern munich have been champions of germany in the last 11 seasons, while bayer leverkusen hadn't done it before ever. but the title sealed with a 5—0 win over werder bremen this afternoon. victor boniface gave them the lead before the nigerian then turned provider on the hour mark, laying the ball into the path of granit xhaka, who made it two. but they weren't finished there, florian wirtz hit a second—half hat—trick, with his and his team's last goal sparking wild celebrations amongst the home supporters with many making their way on to the pitch. xabi alonso's side have wrapped up the title with five games remaining of a season in which his team have been unbeaten so far. it's been a week at augusta of little dominance, not that many rounds in the 60s, but that all increases the likelihood of a drama

martha, we will need to leave our conversation there. thank you very much. martha gill.ou some pictures now from worcester, worcester cathedral, where queen camilla... ..has arrived for the traditional royal maundy thursday service. this was the queen a short while ago outside the cathedral. chris mitchell had this reaction. "just seen your presenter cut an interview short very abruptly to bring us pictures of queen camilla entering a building for maundy thursday celebrations. surely these few seconds of pictures could have been recorded and broadcast with a slight delay rather than cutting the interviewee off so rudely." and if one interruption to bring you footage of a member of the royal family wasn't enough, here's the premature end of an edition of panorama shown on the news channel on sunday. good morning. how can i help? will ravenhill has been an estate agent in leicester for 35 years. he says immigration has increased demand... and i apologise very quickly for interrupting the panorama programme there. we're taking you live to windsor castle where we are going t

will have to earn their support. >> martha: and are you a time supported? >> as a grassroots campaign any support would be welcomed, you know, we need all the help we can get on the ground come and say so if he offers support i would except with open arms. you'd be an idiot not to take a former presidents support. >> martha: alright so you will go back and tell those guys you are serious after all. >> know they know i am serious. [ laughter ] >> martha: thank you're stopping by. that is the story for today we will see you back here tomorrow have a great afternoon. [ ♪♪ ] >> stocks rocked and i need really rocked. u.s. relationship with israel feared to be on the rocks. the dow, nasdaq and s&p 500 up so much earlier in the day all finishing sharply lower by the end of the day. that follows the tense phone call between joe biden and ira -- is really prime mr benjamin netanyahu failing to tamp down tensions from ramping up and oil prices from rocketing up. in case you're counting oil prices now the highs they've been in 6 months. all of this as it looks like t

how does a flight to martha's vineyard cause mental or physical abuse?ere? i can't find a crime here or in the trump case. >> it is astonishing, you can twist what happened into a crime. they went to martha's vineyard, where people virtue signal and claim they care. why not offer them support they needed. to see that classified as a crime is crazy. what is emotional abuse and people like my little sister, admitted to a college in the u.s., denied visa after 92nd interview, that is emotional abuse, not being flown to martha's vineyard. >> todd: that story is sickening. your sister, who did it the right way, denied but these individuals under auspices of a crime. there is no crime, they get whatever they want. they get to the front of the line, it has to stop. thank you for shedding a light on it. >> carley: switching gears to check out this video, tommy white knocking one out of the park and nearly knocking out a fan, too. watch this. >> turn our attention to that fan out in left field who took a tommy white one to the noggin. >> that guy looks woozy out

today, the senate joins ralph's wife jeannie, their daughter martha, their son and the entire park at him in an extraordinary american. it is an honor to welcome colonel ralph puckett, jr. to the capital. >> and we want to welcome all of our visitors for this important and solemn occasion. it is a great honor to be a part of it. as speaker faust it is my privilege to show the house profound gratitude for colonel puckett, and all of our korean war veterans. colonel puckett's model was simple. you said it this way. this is his quote. be there. when the going gets tough, when there's cold weather, rainy weather, somebody shooting at you hot, you are going without food, whatever it is, be there. and on that cold in november 1950, colonel puckett was there for his man and his country. antedate america gets to show our thanks, the last surviving medal of honor recipient from the korean war. and we all get a chance to be there for the colonel and his family, honor his life and sacrifice in these hallowed halls of american democracy. colonel puckett was a u.s. army ranger and a veteran of the

>> martha: >> neil: is a valid point.ree i want to ask you a little bit about that grandma and i -- i know we not supposed to weigh the celebrity order status or the -- nature of the prominent individual like donald trump but threatening even to throw him in jail, you know, obviously it wear its all sort of other hazards that the judge might not welcome or expects, at the very least of which is the growing popularity of donald trump through this entire trial itself. is right now leading joe biden by six points in the latest polls and virtually all the battleground states. so he's got to weigh that. what do you think? >> i think you don't have to be that and a queer -- erect and protection the first amendment shouldn't -- and he is in the right constitutional right to speak on issues of public importance and there's no question that this -- constitutes a matter of grave public importance. [inaudible] the judge has a job he has to maintain the integrity of the trial and run his courtroom in order to ensure fair trial. i get

let's bring in martha raddatz. martha, thanks for joining us this morning. let's pick up on what iran was saying last night. the u.s. was involved in those defenses and operations last night and we're getting a warning from iran against further u.s. involvement? >> martha: exactly, george. they say the operation is concluded, but iran's mission to the u.n. said, however, should the israeli regime make another mistake, iran's response will be considerably more severe. it is a conflict between iran and the rogue israeli regime from which the u.s. must stay away. in capital letters there, you see, of course. iran had also warned the u.s. not to be involved in the defense of israel. president biden basically said, we will protect israel, and that was an extraordinary show of defensive capability last night. that was a massive attack. it is so lucky and skilled that they were able to shoot down those drones, those missiles. more than 300. the u.s. early last night thought there might be 400 or 500 drones and missiles headed for israel, and this is not over, georg

the federal government itself made that clear. >> martha: katie? >> i definitely agree that the first witness should definitely be the strongest witness. packer's testimony did nothing to prove the case beyond a reasonable doubt. in fact even said he assumed trump wanted the stories killed for the purposes of his campaign but he didn't have any direct evidence of it. an assumption is a far cry beyond a reasonable doubt proof that was the sole motivation behind these lawful agreements. certainly i don't know what kind of ground they gained with him aside from the fact establishing there were many conversations with michael cohen that seemed to be coordinating this on behalf of term. again we don't know if he was aware of what cohen was relaying and claiming trump new. that's certainly something up for debate. >> alright i want to take our viewers and listeners through something that just came to us from the courtroom and get your response to it. as the packer testimony is ongoing at this hour. this is the common -- cross-examination it's happening,
