we're going to speak to cnn political and national security analyst david sanger in a moment. let's get started with priscilla alvarez on the north lawn of the white house. what more are you learning about the strikes directed by president biden? >> reporter: well, the strikes followed earlier strikes in the day that wounded three americans in northern iraq, one of whom according to the white house is in critical condition. now, the president was immediately briefed following that strike. and later in the day, this was yesterday, the defense secretary presented the president options and that is when the president ordered the strike. now, according to a statement from the white house they said, quote, during that call, the president directed his strikes against three locations, utilized by kataib hezbollah and affiliated groups focused specifically on unmanned aerial drone activities. the statement goes on to say that the president places no higher priority than the protection of american personnel serving in harm's way. the united states will act at a time and in a manner of o

let's bring in david sanger. before we get to disinformation, i want to begin with a story you posted to the "new york times" regarding the biden administration looking at using frozen russian assets in u.s. banks to provide ukrainian aid while congress dithers. so what are the obstacles an opportunities in this plan? >> well, john, good morning from berlin. the main obstacle here is that for the past year or so, janet yellen the treasury secretary has declared publicly that seizing the $300 billion that russia inexplicably left in the united states, in the europe, dollar denominated accounts in the world, would be illegal, that congress needed to pass a new law that would enable the money which has been frozen since the invasion to be turned over to ukraine. what we're reporting in the "times" today is that in fact the u.s. is now reconsidering that view. and it has become intensive behind the scenes discussions with the g7 countries about what might be done to get some of this money into the hands of ukraine. a

we are joined by david sanger who is a cnn political and security analyst and white house national securityorrespondent for "the new york times." and thank you, david, so much for being here. and first, i want to go to what you make of israel saying that it is going to investigate the potential failings in the october 7th attack while simultaneously fighting this war. how does that happen? >> sara, it is a really great question, because the assumption until now is that the investigation would wait until the war was over. this is going to be a really complicated investigation. on the facts and on the politics of it. when you are thinking about it, there have to be three different parts to it. one is on the intelligence failure, and how is the most vaunted intelligence system that we have known in the past few decades, and one that is presumably had the gaza completely wired up managed to miss an attack like this in the planning for so long. the second big question is if they did get parts of it, and we know from my colleagues at the new york times reporting that there was a full plan from th

. >>> cnn political and national security analyst david sanger joins us now.d morning to you you. the prime minister of qatar this morning led off this forum in doha by calling the situation in gaza an unprecedented humanitarian disaster. he went on to say that the world actually is split between some who call for putting an end to this war and putting an end to the war machine and some who are hesitating to even call for a ceasefire. clearly, talking about the u.s. after this veto of the resolution there in the security council. two days an now, what do you see as the fallout of this veto from the u.s.? >> i think the u.s. is going to become under increasing pressure, victor, because the united states was caught between two very different values it has here. first, the biden administration has backed prime minister netanyahu's goal that hamas must be destroyed. obviously, if you have a ceasefire now that was indefinite, israel would be left with hamas in control of a good part of the gaza, and would probably survive as a fighting force, might even regenerate

the mail and one income stacks are targets with margaret sanger, who, together with my subject, emma goldman, was a prominent of remote control in the early century. 1914. margaret sanger was indicted under the comstock act for distributing a newsletter that contained information under control, saying her fled the country to avoid prosecution. the charges against her were eventually dropped in 1950, but her husband was prosecuted and sentenced for 30 days in jail just for distributing birth control pamphlets. so for a really long time, the kind of figure was kind of dormant and especially with respect to abortion, drugs and such things. in 1973 to 19 to 2022, the supreme court's roe versus wade decision held that there was a constitutional right to abortion subject to some restrict actions. but in 12 and 22, dobbs decision, the supreme court that that decision so essentially it's been hundred 50 years since the passage of the comstock act and there's quite amazing how that is being used with such vigilance and. once again so some appointed the us district court in texas. matthew care

let's expand the conversation with cnn political and national security analyst david sanger. david, i'm curious about your reflections about the objections of providing ukraine with aid. republicans say there needs to be more accountability and the white house says there's no evidence the funds are being misused in a widespread way and the question of what victory looks like. a clear objective. the white house said it's for ukraine to define. where do you see the objections coming from? >> reporter: there are three separate things going on here. number one is the about the border. and the president decided to link these issues together to get some political advantage. that some people would vote on israel. some people would because of ukraine, he could get the border through. that's looking like a worse and worse bet. then there are the ukraine specific issues you brought up. as you say, we haven't heard a huge amount. i'm sure there's some corruption going on. let's face it. we've been sending them mostly arms made in the united states or brought out from the allies. there's

joining us so discuss is david sanger. i want to start with that last point because this has been dual track to some degree. there have been the intensive discussions and negotiations trying to extend the pause that had been in place, the hostage swaps, and then a second track of u.s. officials working with, talking to, impressing israeli counterparts what this operation in the south will look like. how much leverage do they have here? >> good morning, phil. the main weapon is u.s. has weapons and going to congress -- or the administration is going to congress for an additional $14 billion in aid. one of the debates under way in congress right now is would there be conditions placed on that aid? something you write in the law could be a lot clunkier than something that the secretary of state can negotiate out with the israelis. if you just back this up over, say, the past seven weeks or so, we've gone from the president saying i'm unambiguously behind israel to the president saying, do not make the mistakes we made, the ex

joey jackson, lee carter, and david sanger are back with us. time i hear ruby freeman or shaye moss speak, i am reminded of that initial testimony and those moments and the way this literally ruined their lives. how much impact, joey, is this having in this moment? >> so think about what you just said, erica, right? you're a juror, right? you're a juror out there because you're someone who's evaluating what you're hearing. that's what jurors do, not a juror in the sense that you're on the panel, but you're having an emotional reaction and a connection with the impact that this had. going back, what is defamation? false statements that are injurious to your reputation. statements have consequences. we've heard not only what we heard about trump saying these things about ruby freeman, ruby freeman, what she did, which were not true. but we heard the venom from the public with respect to we're going to hang you, we're going to do all these things to you. what am i saying? we're at the damage phase. the jury has to assess, how has this damaged you,

. >>> let's talk about this with david sanger, and juliet kayyem. david, you first. secretary austin on a trip just after jsullivan met with officials. what is the message sent to israel and globally as a result of these trips? >> well, the message is they have to find a way to do this that greatly diminishes the civilian casualties. that means moving to a campaign that really is all about special n targeting, but not this bombing that has so far weld, we think 50,000 or m ore. you heard jake sullivan talk about the different phases of these operations and made it sound as if there wasn't a huge rift, but we know behind the scenes there's great certainly, only accentuated by the fact that they have published an open her that has basically said we need to get to a cease-fire. that's not a position that the u.s. takes oismg so i wonder for how long might be the germany and so many others for how long can the u.s. even afford to take that posture? >> isn't it difficult to see value in precision strikes in and out, especially after the reporting of the dumb bombs. so the
