9:00 am
coventry direct redefining insurance i'm kdigo lilla in washington and this is cnn all right. >> it's been six weeks after baltimore's francis scott key bridge collapsed into the river. well, today a plan to use explosives on the debris has been postponed because the whether the demolition crew was
9:01 am
planning to free the dali cargo ship from the debris that has been laying across. its bow, allowing the ship to eventually be floated and moved from the waterway. this comes a few days after the six and the final body was recovered from the water. investigations will also are in investigators will also be having a hearing on capitol hill next week to discuss federal response to the catastrophe all right. >> hello again, everyone. thank you so much for joining me out for greek all right, we begin this hour with dramatic new developments in the middle east. israeli military forces are calling for the immediate evacuations of some neighborhoods in in the southern gaza city of rafah. the idf says about 300 people have already fled the orders, come ahead of an anticipated idf ground offensive in an area
9:02 am
more than 1 million palestinians where they are seeking refuge. this on the heels of a new report from the white house the biden administration says, it's reasonable to assess that american weapons have been used by israeli forces in gaza in ways he's inconsistent with international humanitarian law. cnn's scott mclean has more on these latest developments in gaza frederick a new airstrikes in northern and central gaza have flooded hospitals with a new round of victims included amongst them, a journalist, his wife, and 12-year-old son, and the death toll may yet still rise as people search through the rubble of those airstrikes with little more than their bare hands searching at this point for bodies. and the video of the aftermath and the chaotic hospitals that have taken in those victims is pretty hard to watch. >> many of the victims are children, some of them are tiny
9:03 am
infants. the idf declined to comment on the strikes other than to say that it was working to dismantle hamas and insisting that it follows international law and takes measures to mitigate civilian harm. that is notable only because the us state department released a report yesterday saying that it is reasonable to assess that israel has not always followed international no law. the idf just this morning has told people in parts of northern gaza to evacuate to save for areas. and in several districts of rafah as well, to move to a humanitarian zone along the coastline zone where people have pitch tents along the roadway and along the coast and is very little in the way of infrastructure to support that volume of people. the idf says that there are now 300,000 people there. that is the double the estimate that they gave on thursday. there are also people in rafah who are struggling to leave at all. some are unwilling to go, some are struggling with the logistics of moving round this active war zone or the cost of
9:04 am
moving around one person told cnn that the situation there is beyond bad. it also seems like israel is undeterred by the us pausing shipments of weapons to israel because of its continued advance in rafah. the idf says that it has enough weaponry to go this alone. the israeli security cabinet has approved an expansion of the operating area. all of this just as aid into southern gaza slows to a trickle. if that fredricka. >> all right. scott mclean. i think so much. let's go now to cnn's priscilla alvarez, who's traveling with president biden in an in seattle step. priscilla biden warned that he would stop some weapons shipments to israel if they follow through with that major offensive in rafah. what are you learning from them? as they traveled today that's right. >> fredricka, that's what he told cnn for the first time making the point that he would still continue defensive weapons to israel. but some other shipments i'm offensive weapons could be held back if
9:05 am
real is to move forward with a major ground operation in rafah, that area that has over 1 million displaced palestinians. now. and what my his white house officials have been asked what that operation looks like and at what point it would cross the president's red line. they haven't been able to give that detail or give the parameters of what it would look like saying rather so that it would be obvious when it happens. but this, all of this coming against the backdrop of this report by the state department, it was a high-stakes report, a highly anticipated one that just marked another stark moment in us-israeli relations. and this report with that was done by biden administration found that quote, it's reasonable to assess that us weapons have been used by israeli forces in gaza in ways that are inconsistent with international humanitarian law. but of course, it also came short of saying that israel violated that law. now, this report stems from that february to worry national security
9:06 am
memorandum that required a determination on this matter, but also whether israel was withholding humanitarian aid from gaza in violation of us law. it also did not find that, but all of this quite critical of israel in the way that it's carrying forward. but it did not mandate any actions by israel or provoke any policy changes by the united states that coming under syrup criticism from some of the president's own allies and humanitarian aid organizations. but all of this taken together, fredricka just goes to show the continuing underlying tensions let's between israel and the united states as israel wages its war against hamas and gaza. and as we continue to see images of the destruction and the humanitarian toll in that region. >> all right. priscilla alvarez in seattle. thanks so much. let's talk more about all of this with susan glasser. she is a staff writer for the new yorker. all right. good to see you, susan, was it your calculation that the white house had some intelligence?
9:07 am
ahead of biden revealing that he would impose conditions. a military aid if israel were were to go into rafah it certainly seems like the white house wanted and thought about sending a message this week. >> also the news had become public. it was leaked that last week, even before the israeli moved in and took over a key border crossing in rafah with egypt that the us had made this decision. the pentagon had made this decision to pause weapons, i think with that coming out, president biden took the chance to make a very pointed message to prime minister netanyahu. what i've heard here you are in washington is increasing concern from many of the presidents, democratic allies. they are absolutely fed up with netanyahu. they believe that the prime minister of israel has essentially been flouting the words and counsel and advice the president of the united states for months now and there was a lot of cheering
9:08 am
at biden's tough words. i think it remains to be seen exactly where the next step is in part because it's not yet clear whether and to what scale netanyahu and his government are going to follow through with this military operation in rafah in backing those tough words. the administration was saying, israel may have violated international law and failing to protect civilians the us state department saying in that written report israel, i'm quoting now, has the knowledge, experience, and tools to implement best practices for mitigating civilian harm in its military operations and quote. so the timing of this admonishment, it's pretty interesting, right? following them, any campus protests six months now ahead of us elections is this a turning point for the administration on how it's supported? israel's approach to this war in gaza well there's no question in my mind had the one thing that the white house really want
9:09 am
urgently needs politically is a ceasefire, an end to active hostilities already the war has gone on far longer than they thought that it would, that has spilled over into the toxic politics of the american election year. >> and what you see right now is a president of the united this is essentially trapped in the middle trying to thread the needle, pleasing really very few people at this moment in time, you have on the right overheated hyper got bolick complaints, gleaming the biden is abandoning an ally that he's betrayed as the new york post put it the other day america as partners in israel, on the other hand, and you have humanitarian groups, liberal democrats, very concerned that he's not done enough to make clear that humanitarian aid for the people of gaza is an actual part of us policy. it's an unbearable place to be trapped in the middle at a moment where they're essentially is to know
9:10 am
more rational middle in our politics. so i think that's what you're hearing from the white house is a please let's let's end this right now yeah. >> some republicans are saying using the word abandon and you have some democrats, some democratic senators who are saying their discipline pointed do you also believe that biden because you wrote that biden has publicly daring netanyahu to defy him but then hopefully we have time for this. yeah. listen to netanyahu, who's spoke with a filmography this is what he had to say i've known joe biden for many years, 40 years, and more we often had our agreements, but we've had our disagreements. >> we've been able to overcome them. i hope we can overcome them now, but we will do what we have to do to protect our country. and that means the protector future. and that means we will defeat hamas, including in rafah. we so
9:11 am
that's israeli prime minister essentially digging in his heels, right? i mean, how contentious do you think it's about to become between biden and netanyahu? >> look, the bottom line right now, fredricka, is that both biden and netanyahu have some real political urgency and even a political incentive to >> here's far right coalition, the most far re, coalition in israel's history together. so in a sense, they both have an incentive to get in an argument with each other publicly and looked like they are standing firm. the tragedy of course, is the civilians in gaza continued to suffer and the hostages not only have not come home, but there's no deal for releasing any more of
9:12 am
them without that deal, by the way, the war is not going to end. and i heard that very loudly from my sources in the white house this week. that's very important point without a hostage deal. there's no cease-fire all right. susan glasser, we'll leave it there for now. thank you so much thank you all right. still to come powerful. a solar flares could disrupt communications across the globe but it's also creating dazzling awards if you miss this spectacular show in the sky, last slide, there's still some time to get a glimpse of the northern lights straight ahead or scopus torres was the absolute peak of his celebrity olympic heroes shocking murder trial. >> we learned of a much darker individual how would really happen with jesse l. martin to mall with nine on cnn, i brought in a jew or max protein with 30 grams of protein. those who tried me felt more energy

9:17 am
could help you save i'm tom foreman in washington. and this is cnn all right perhaps you've always wanted to see the northern lights will guess what you may now be. >> luck this weekend there on display in a very big way, a slew of slope solar activity has created dazzling auroras that we're seeing as far south as florida as the good news, the opposite of that these flares can also disrupt communications here on earth. it's the strongest solar storm to hit earth's since 2003 and could affect the power grid as well as satellite and radio communications the aurora is expected to last three nights meteorologists elson chin char is tracking the latest from the cnn weather center. okay so, um, no one wants the communications disruptions. what everybody wants the light show and they're slip, but different emily would never
9:18 am
have this opportunity see it that are actually getting that chance you think about those images we talked about where it's like the palm tree in the snow and how weird it looks because it's so unusual that we're seeing something very similar to this, this image right here taken just south of jacksonville, florida. >> same thing you've got the palm tree in the foreground with all of the beautiful auroras in the background. because again, this was such a big storm event. it's spreading to places that normally wouldn't get a chance to see these. but if you missed it last tonight, you will get a second opportunity to see it. yet again tonight. again, it's been a big event. we've had a g5, which is the highest end of the scale that you can get. we had the event yesterday and then another one this morning where it reached those levels first time since october of 2003. but the question is, okay, i missed it. i want to see it again when the key is going to be earlier in the evening, the peak time tonight is really going to be that five to eight and eight to 11 timeframe. yes, i'm aware from five to seven, the sun is still out, but basically what this is saying is the earlier into the evening, you can look so the
9:19 am
minute that sun goes away, that's going to be one of the prime opportunities to see it. yes, you can see it later. it's just going to start to diminish this rather quickly as we go later on into the overnight hours. so the earlier is going to be better. now, the where obviously the farther north you go, the better viewing you're going to see. >> but even places far south, southern california, areas over towards georgia, alabama, the carolinas, even into florida, is have the potential to see some of those beautiful light displays tonight. >> the exception to that will be wherever we have cloud cover and we've got a lot of that expected tonight across a texas louisiana, mississippi, and also the potential for some heavy clouds and even come rain showers for places like upstate new york, areas of pennsylvania, and even possibly vermont two. so that's really going to be the only thing that really limits this. now the reason why we're seeing this is this yellow dot right here. this is the sun, this is earth. what you're seeing is the solar winds. so this right here, this is the first wave that moves through on friday here's the second wave that's the one that we expect later today, giving us that second
9:20 am
opportunity to really see such beautiful lights. here's the thing though. the speed at which these are moving is going to really amplify and the strength, how far southeast get. but when they do, it's going to be a different color. now, greene is the most common color of aurora, is that we see and also fun fact green to the human eye. we are most sensitive to the green colors, so it's the easiest one for us to see as well but in this case if yes, it's the pink, it's the red. this was an image from fort lauderdale. now, once you go a little bit farther north, you're not just limited to the red, but you're really going to get all the colors this from seattle where they saw the purple's the pinks, the reds, and the greens as well. >> oh, it's so exciting. i'm glad we got another chance tonight. yeah, to flip their with. let's same allison. thank you so much. let's talk more about this and get more insight on this massive solar storm. join right now by bill murdaugh a program coordinator for the national oceanic and
9:21 am
atmospheric administration. bill great to see you good to see you. >> okay. so when many of us hear the word storm, we're thinking of thunder lightning, so help us understand why this is happening the way it is. >> we're calling it a solar storm and what we should anticipate beyond what alison just so brilliantly laid out yes. >> so it all starts at the sun. >> as you just pointed out in does some nice the yard, in one sense, as a north pole and the south pole negative and positive polarity. >> but over the course of 11 years it does the reversal that's happening right now or right in the middle of that magnetic reversal. and what happens during this stage of the cycle, we see these sunspots are much these sunspots typically one to three times the size of earth. >> the particular sons, sons we're looking at closely now is actually 15 times the size of earth. so it's huge, it's complex, and is producing these
9:22 am
big eruptions that are getting shot at it back-to-back. the fact we've had up to ten eruptions, all coming towards earth, impacting earth's magnetic field and creating these lovely northern lights and the southern hemisphere, the southern lights. >> wow, so how can this be tracked anyway? >> so we have 24/7. it's just that we're part of the weather service. so just like a regular weather station, we have to be on duty all the time so we've got sensors and space. we got cameras in on satellites. as based on the ground or other types of instruments taken measurements. so we're watching the sun continuous leslie. and as soon as we see those eruptions coming towards us, we plug it in a model, kinda like a regular wet weather model that will tell you what the weather is going to be like today. the next date, three days from we have our own space weather models that help us understand if that eruption we just saw on the sun is going to get to earth. and when, and how long is it going to take before? get zero? and wants to
9:23 am
know the timing we want to happen right at nighttime. so we could see those northern lights so much like a regular weather station. we have those models. we use those rely on those models and those observations to make these forecasts. >> wow, looking at all these beautiful pictures that people took just by looking out their windows and standing in their yard cetera, do you feel like tonight show might be as intense as last night's i am going to go out and saying, i don't think it's gonna be a strong land. >> i was absolutely spectacular last night. some of the pictures, shots we were getting from europe as this, as the sunset over it was just marvelous. none of course, as you mentioned, we had but here in florida, we've got some reports and from puerto rico of the auroras was extraordinary. >> now, we we do have some more of these eruptions coming towards us as was pointed out it was so rare to get it as strong as it was last name, 20 years. >> however, we will see some we do expect the see more strong
9:24 am
storming. we've a scale one to five. >> one is minor, five is extreme. the three and four levels strong to severe. >> i'd say that's still a good possibility tonight's the royals certainly be visible northern tier type states into the middle, middle tier states and not so sure down in florida, puerto rico again, but stay tuned. let's see how well i love all the upside. >> i wonder are you at all concerned about the potential of the downsides that communication disruptions sometimes everything works. >> just write this one. did we observe these eruptions? >> we we were food, we recognized or the we're going to impact earth. >> so we were able to give the power grid and other technology owners and operators a heads-up 24 hours in advance. if we let them all know, hates not that week is on the way, there's going to be big issues and these folks all have procedures in place to mitigate the effects of geomagnetic storms. so the perfect scenario is we
9:25 am
detected, we forecasted correctly all these folks do the right thing with the critical infrastructure, the power grid, and the satellites. and then nothing happens to all that analogy that we rely on for everything we do today's so, so far so good. sure. we're seeing effects on gps communications and whatnot. that's inevitable, but we've essentially mitigated any really significant effects as far as we can tell, all right. >> bill myrtle, we love your enthusiasm. we're excited to well great business and really interesting thanks for having then a lot of fine. >> thank you so much. >> all right. straight ahead former president donald trump is out of the courtroom and back on the campaign trail. but why is trump escalating his attacks on robert f. kennedy jr. new cnn reporting straight ahead. >> let's try this again. what do you see? >> my first step is japan houston second championship. sall's not winning a

9:31 am
choosing to spend one of those days outside of the courtroom in a state that is not considered a critical battleground. know, when i talked to the trump campaign and then his advisers, they tell me that look, part of this is because they can get people from philadelphia, the philly suburbs, a place that is a critical battleground to come here. but also, they have been taught wild would new jersey before this is actually a district in the kate in cape may county, which is very red and it actually voted for donald trump in the past two elections. and so they expect a lot of enthusiasm here as you can see behind me, there's already a big crowd that is forming and his rally does not begin until 5:00 p.m. but i also want to just mention friday that when i talk to other republicans, they think there could be another motivation behind this, which is that donald trump didn't want to travel far after such a tough and embarrassing week in the courtroom, they say that no wild would is not that far from new york. it's also not far from his bedminster golf club here in new jersey. and so that also played some role in this as well.
9:32 am
>> and elena, in recent weeks, trump has stepped up his attacks on robert f. kennedy jr. and in a lengthy social media video, the former president called rfp junior, a democrat plant. why is that? trump teens so worried about him it's really interesting, afraid because the trump campaign and actually laid out a playbook for this months ago as how they wanted to define robert f. >> kennedy jr. they wanted to find them as a liberal and conservative clothing. that is what many campaign advisers i kind of used to describe how they would go on offense against him. however donald trump had kind of a different message. he was saying that he was a nice guy. that he liked him. he wasn't sure if kennedy his candidacy hurt biden or his campaign more. however, we've seen that change in recent weeks, donald trump has really changed his tone, an escalated his attacks against him when i talked to the campaign say luck, there's a few reasons for this. one is that it's still unclear who kennedy hurts
9:33 am
more. what does he hurt biden more or does he hurt trump more? that's part of it. they think that it really varies on a statement by state basis. one senior trump campaign adviser told me that they actually think that he could hurt trump the most in a state like pennsylvania. and they said that's where people are unsure if they want biden or trump, but also, they thank regardless of whether he could be acute which impact, why not try to weigh him down as much as possible? and that's really why we're seeing these attacks. we ramped up by the former president himself in recent days, fred murray alayna treene thank you so much. we'll check back with you throughout the day are still to come police bodycam footage reveals the moments leading up to the fatal shooting of a us airmen in his home shahed via sheriff's deputy what the family is saying next these for change is presented by charles schwab. >> this series is a profile encourage grid and creativity that is moving society forward
