even anytime i even tweet something about her, the level of reaction people call her ghetto a >> all of this comes on the heels of the most talked about event at the nba all-star game in february, when golden state warriors star steph curry barely beat sabrina ionescu of the wnba's new york liberty in a three-point shooting contest expect more of that in the future if it's stef versus caitlin clark, they might need to hold it in a football stadium and we have this justin last night's game between caitlin clark's iowa hawkeyes, and angel, reese's, lsu tigers has set the all-time tv ratings record for a women's >> college basketball game, according to espn wolf, 12 million. we have more than 12 million viewers. amazing. i was one of them brian, thank you very, very much. brian todd reporting and to our viewers. thanks. it's very much for watching. i'm wolf blitzer in the situation room. i'll see you back here tomorrow 11:00 a.m. eastern for cnn newsroom. of course, 6:00 p.m. eastern in the situation room, the new who's continues on cnn, right?

>> tonight on three 60, the former president tries again to get his new york judge off the case. the manhattan da responds as the clock ticks down to his hush money trial. also tonight, trump campaigning today in two states, he wanted 2016 lost in 2020, and could be key to victory this year. and all learning about israel strike on a food convoy that killed seven workers and girls central kitchen. >> good evening. thanks for joining us when most criminal trials are just days away, most criminal defendants and their legal teams are busy enough, just prepping their cases don't trump, of course, is not moos. defendants. so today with his new york criminal trial, just 13 days away, his legal team tried again to get get the trial judge to recuse himself. and in short order, manhattan district attorney alvin bragg responded. so we begin with that as well as some court filings which were expecting tonight in the classified documents case, cnn's kara scannell is following all of it. so what is the trunk team's argument for recusal this time? because the judges gave a ruling on this list in 24 hours ago well, so trump is

asking the judge to recuse himself in this case because of work that his daughter does for a political consulting firm called authentic campaigns. it does marketing and fundraising. and in the past has worked for both the biden campaign and the harris campaign. so it trump's lawyers are saying that they now have this data of past payments that they received from these groups. and arguing that that is grounds to for the judge to recuse himself, saying that they stand to financially benefit from this trial. they write in a letter to the judge, the trial in this case will benefit authentic financially by providing its clients more fodder for fundraising. authentic will make more money by assisting with those communication patients. and your honors, daughter will continue to earn money from these developments by virtue of her senior role at authentic, then the da's office did respond today as well. anderson what. did the dsa? >> so the da's office is saying that the judge has already ruled on this and that he had consulted with an advisory committee on judicial ethics

that they said it wasn't grounds for the judge to recuse themselves. they also say that trump's team has strung together as they put it, a daisy chain of innuendo, but not actual facts killed connecting any money going to the from the campaigns to his daughter. and they say there is simply nothing new here that would alter this court's prior conclusion that nothing about this proceeding will directly benefit authentic or this court's family member, let alone this court. this comes as trump again today has a criticize the judge on one of his social media posts, and it is just the latest of trump making these comments about the judge's as he is pushing the boundaries both in and out of the courtroom. >> i have a trump-hating judge with the trump-hating wife and family was either whacked out or dishonest >> donald trump is lashing out and testing the limits of judges and the rule of law as he is set to be the first former president to face a criminal trial. the presumptive

republican president does it until nominee and for time, criminal defendant has been slapped with gag orders, stormed out of one federal courtroom, and turned his appearances at others into campaign events. his targets are often the jurists on the bench, and i don't know how you can have a trial that's going on right the middle of an election. not fair. not fair. it's not fair at all. he knows democrat judge. >> monday, new york state judge juan merchan expanded a gag order and is now restricting trump from talking about his family after finding trump's rhetoric threatens to instill fear and append the rule of law it is no longer just a mere possibility or a reasonable likelihood that there exists a threat to the integrity of the judicial proceedings. the judge wrote, the threat is very real judges overseeing trump's cases have faced bomb threats and swatting calls at their homes. courts have increased security. >> it's very disconcerting to have someone making comments about a judge and it's

particularly problematic when those comments are in the form of a threat, especially if they're directed at one's family. >> the hush money case will be the third trial trump attends as a defendant in the past six months sitting across the table from the judge, he is attacked. >> we have a judge that property is it worth a tiny fraction a frequent target is new york state judge arthur engoron, who found trump liable for fraud and ordered him to pay nearly half $1 billion this rogue judge trump hater the only one that hates trump flores is associate up there and corrupt judge named and goren you to be looked at seriously looked at trump was back in court in january where he tested the boundaries with judge lewis kaplan during the defamation trial. involving advice columnist e jean carroll. >> that's a nasty man. he's a nasty judge. he's at trump-hating guy. >> after an outburst, the judge threatened to remove trump from the courtroom. i would love it.

trump replied, despite the exchange, trump was not thrown out now if we don't have a viable court system, that's able to function efficiently, then we have tyranny. and i don't think that would be good for the future of our country and the future of democracy in our country. >> now one judge that trump hasn't criticized as judge aileen cannon, who is overseeing the classified documents case in florida. she has set a deadline for for tonight for both trump and the special counsel, jack smith's team to put together their thoughts on jury instructions. this is viewed as pretty unusual since she has not yet set a trial date in this case. and she also asked them to weigh in on the presidential records act. that is a key part of trump's defense and something that special counsel says has no place in this case. anderson kara scannell. thanks very much. want to get perspective now from jeremy vogel, who served as federal judge in the california's northern district. also mark his children's former investigative counsel to the house january 6 select committee. and cnn legal analysts carry cordero, judge for vogel, i mean, this second

attempt to get merchan tossed off, does that i mean, there isn't any different than the first attempt. >> i don't see any difference. there's no new facts >> the >> association that his daughter had with her political agency was brought to light then. and there's really nothing new and there has to be a more specific connection. >> there's not really any detail in this filing. >> no, there isn't. what you, would need to get a recusals you'd have to have a more direct connection because all judges have family members and their family members can do a lot of different things. they can be political activists, they can be, they can have beliefs of all different kinds. and the question is whether there's something about what they're doing that causes a reasonable prison to think the judge can't be impartial in the matter that's before the judge or that there's some direct financial benefit to the family member and you don't have that in this declaration. >> i mean, is there any precedent for uh, judges recusing himself because his daughter's doing well as the judge was saying, there are

family members furs, and spouses, and we have these types of issues with judges. the standard is whether or not the judge has impartiality. his impartiality might be reasonably question and that of course is a very subjective analysis. there's no hard facts. it doesn't sound like in this particular case that there is an actual conflict that has has been articulated. so it falls more into the appearance. is there some sort of appearance of impartiality in this particular case that he would be biased in some way. and even that doesn't seem to have risen to the level so much. is this just to help trump politically, to foster the narrative that he's being railroaded. >> i mean, go into carries point on ethics panel already found that there was no impartiality. the judge's daughter having a job and him overseeing this case. i think i think actually, if you go to the judge's point, there's no new facts here in an argument actually feel speculative at best there was no real facts alleged about the benefit that

the judge's daughter will receive from overseeing this case, and it feels desperate, almost like the way that we saw leading up to the certification of the election where the former president was just throwing things against the wall to see what would stick. and this motion actually feels desperate as well, because the court's already rolled. >> it does certainly i mean, desperate in a b, but it does certainly have an effect among his supporters because i've just rallying this solidifying this. >> well, that's what i wanted to say. i think there's from a legal standpoint is desperate because it's an argument that's been made in rejected and there's no new new evidence. but i think on a political level, it's not so much desperate as it is kind of what we're getting used to, which is an attempt to tear down the legitimate see if the judges who preside over in these cases and it's interesting as you played the clips there's the same language over and over again. rho judges democrat judges >> i mean, he is a master of just repeating the same thing, right? but, but without i'm not even >> taking political sides here. i think there's, it's just, it's a matter of a concerted practice of trying to deal legitimize the courts that are presiding over his case.

>> he has not gone after judge aileen cannon know whom he appointed to the bench in terms or actions so far in the mar-a-lago dot. >> no, he hasn't. and she has her own political history, her own associations both personally and her husband. does that mean if one wanted to make an issue about those things? i mean, i don't think those are disqualifying. people should know about them, but i don't think are disqualifying. but but she's ruled in his favor over and over again. and so she's not been a target. and what i worry about and judge walton, i think really spoke to this. if you keep delegitimizing the judiciary over and over and over again, their bias there unfair there rogue, they're irrational. the hate me all that that the more people tend to believe that, the more they tend to think the judges are just like anybody else that they're just politicians and robes. they're just doing whatever the whoever they're the people who line up align with them, expect them to do it, that there's no legal process, there's no consideration of the law. and i think it also incites violence

and i wanted to say here that i've been doing a lot of teaching in my current roles, retired judge to a lot of teaching of current judges and people talk to me about what's going on out in the field the concerns about physical security nationally have never been as acute as they are now non-chord versus among court personnel corp clerks, judges, baylis, everybody who works in the courts. and it's not just the judges have ruled against mr. trump. it's it's just there's an atmosphere of anger and thinking that you can make death threats against people. social media has really expanded that. >> yeah, it's a real problem. this is all of a piece. i mean, it is all about i mean, it's like the deepstate stuff. it's all about sort of tearing down institution. yeah. he's a. is trying to discredit our institutions as judge vocal and judge walton said last week and he doesn't have to be expressed and asking for violence in his tweets for his supporters to view it that way. i mean, just a month ago, a january 6, ryder said he was responding to the patriotic call of the president and attacking the capitol on january 6. and i think that the

former president's tweets about the port here in new york can be construed as a patriotic call. and i think that's something we have to be really be worried about and consider as we head into actual trials less than two weeks from now. and as courts may be start holding the former president accountable for his actions, carry something that federal judge nancy gertner said struck me. she said judge cannon, what she's asked to port rich to do is very, very troubling. she's giving credence to arguments that are on their face absurd. she's ignoring a raft of other motions equally absurd that are unreasonably delaying the case. do you agree? >> so this goes to judge cannon in the florida case and her requests for these jury instructions. i think what was odd about her order on the jury instructions is that by asking the parties to weigh in on the presidential records act that really goes to a matter of law and is the type of issue that should have been resolved through motions, practice? not at the stage of jury instructions. so in other words, if she is of the view in her analysis of the law is going down the path of finding that the presidential records act actually lies in this case,

what i would are you a dozen, but that it does and that that permitted the former president to retain any classified documents that he thought belonged to him as presidential records. that actually the case would end there and that would be a finding of a matter of law that she could make and then that would go up on appeals. certainly that the justice department would appeal it. but what it is so odd in this particular circumstances that she fashioned her request for views from the parties on issues of law as potential jury instructions. >> i've never seen an order like this i was traveling for 37 years. i have never seen an order like this. and i'm not trying to read, judge cannons mine. i don't know, judge cannon. i don't know what her thinking is. >> but >> i do think that what you would normally do is carry just sit as you would decide the legal issues first, what is the law that applies to the case? are we under the presidential records act, are we under the espionage act? what what's the governing law? and then you would make all of your case management decisions, including what's in the jury instructions based on those determinations. and so the ways she's doing doing it is

exactly the reverse of how would normally be done. and i think it could potentially put the government in a very tough position. let me, let's say that she decides that the instructions that former president trump is asking for are the right ones that actually this is all about the presidential records act and they, he could have deep anything he wanted to without following any formalities. if she makes that decision, and then the case goes to trial and then he's acquitted as he certainly would be with that instruction the government has no recourse. there's double jeopardy so that they have to find a way to get this legal issue decided first and the way a judge would normally do it is you would decide, okay. here's the law. these are the instructions i'm going to give. and if a party is agreed by that, whether it'd be the defense or the or the government than they could try to get an intervention from the higher court. dutch vogel. thank you very much. mark childress as well. carry cordero as well, coming up next the presidential campaign and the chance to be president again runs through wisconsin, the latest from the former president's visit, there isn't gears up for new race against prison. biden. and the role robert kennedy jr. could play

free and smell as good as humanly possible. >> it's primary nine and five states tonight, including wisconsin, but just as it's been for several weeks now, much of the attention there and elsewhere is on november, which is why the former president is in wisconsin tonight was in michigan earlier today, seen as kristen holmes is in green bay for us where at trump rally wrapped up a short time ago we heard a lot dire warnings from trump on the campaign trail >> yeah. anderson, most of the messaging today, he was in michigan first and then here in wisconsin was all about immigration and doubling down on that anti-immigration rhetoric he referred to the border crisis as biden's border bloodbath. he talked about immigrants as animals at certain points. >> talked >> about violent crimes linking that again to immigrate, to be painted a really dark picture using violent rhetoric of what a second biden term would look like. take a listen the treasury will be raped, plundered, and robert baer to pay for welfare free health

care >> free housing, food stamps, medicaid, and countless other public benefits. >> one of the things we really heard from donald trump again, doubling down on was this idea that immigrants were linked to violent crime. and of course, as we have reported, the data shows that immigrants and migrants are far less likely to commit crimes than citizens. however, there have been these high profile cases. we have dean across the country that donald trump has latched onto and they believe this is going to help him in november. >> how old is he trying to court voters and wisconsin >> what, what's really important in wisconsin has winning back some of the voters that he wooed in 2016, but lost in 2020. and there are two categories. there. there are people who voted for biden working class voters who broke for him in 2016. but then in 2020 went with biden, but there's also another section of voters in which they voted for him i'm in 2016, but then after four years of him in office were completely exhausted and they're trying to bring them back into the

fold. a lot of that is trying to energize that base. they're doing that by painting a portrait of the current day society under joe biden and saying, it's just so terrible, you have to come out in both mean, i will tell you anderson it seemed to be somewhat successful here tonight. it is a blizzard. there was sleet and rain all day, and there were hundreds, if not thousands, of people lined up to see donald trump. now he hasn't been in wisconsin since 2022, but there was a lot of enthusiasm in the room for him here tonight. >> kristen holmes. thanks very much. now the ongoing drama the democratic side of the ticket were concerned in wisconsin and elsewhere is rising over the role third party candidates could play november, especially with robert kennedy jr. and the race more than that tonight from cnn's jeff zeleny third-party candidacy is two. my opinion or an unacceptable answer in the 2024 election? no. >> mike cruelty is at the helm of his liberal talk radio show in wisconsin, where the question of the day is one that many democrats are stewing over any appetite for robert kennedy

jr. for this fall >> wisconsin is one of the titus battlegrounds of all made clear again, tonight as donald trump return for a rally in green bay but in the rematch with president biden comes a new wildcard in robert f kennedy jr. he's playing spoiler and i'm not clear why i am i'm fearful of a second trump term. there's only one acceptable voting that's for joe biden and you don't got to love them, but you do have to vote for them come this november, long before it's clear, we're kennedy qualifies for the ballot as an independent candidate is at the center of considerable handwringing over whose support he may tap into let's see how the third parties develop. but bobby junior is the one i'd be most concerned with. >> anthony gray is pleased to see democrats taking kennedy seriously and challenging his views particularly given the razor-thin margins of presidential races here. >> in >> addition to having such a fabulous democrat cradock name

has actually done some good work, particularly in the environmental space. the problem is that he now traffics in conspiracy theories particularly around vaccines >> in 2020, biden won wisconsin by fewer than 21,000 votes with no green party candidate on the ballot four years earlier, trump defeated hillary clinton by nearly 23,000 votes with jill stein winning more than 30,000. >> i'm hopeful that we of all learned our lesson and we just really can't take the risk of a second trump administration. >> when kennedy jumped into the race a year ago, is a democratic challenger to biden the white house was dismissive, becoming an independent has kept those ambitions alive allowing him to attack freely. >> and i can make the argument and biden has a much worse threat to democracy. >> so does kennedy take from both sides, do you believe absolutely. longtime wisconsin

libertarian phil anderson is helping kennedy's campaign? and sees a unique opening this year. >> there's two very unpopular candidates running for president and they see trump and biden and their stomach turns a little bit and they're like kennedy's got to be better even if they don't don't know that much about it. >> bryan shimming, chairman of >> the wisconsin republican party, said he spends little time thinking about kennedy. there are some issues where he has some >> appeal probably to our base. but when it gets down to the ten days before the election that the seven days, the one day, the hours before the election, is he more likely to hurt democrat grandson us? i think no question. why do you talk radio back on the radio? kriti >> intends to keep voicing his concerns about all 30 party threats that he believes could upend the 2024 rematch. >> i would say >> jill stein, the >> green party, worries me as much as kennedy does. but i am concerned because anything that changes the head-to-head electoral math between trump and biden changes the math and i don't like that now kennedy

or any third party candidate can get on the ballot with only 2000 signatures that's a tremendously low bar. can compared to some other battleground states. now there's no question that kennedy supporters can be found across the political spectrum. but anderson democrats are paying protect okay, laura attention to him trying to define him. they have teams of lawyers and others going through all of this paperwork here. but one adviser told me by the end of this, they want to make sure that people know that robert f. kennedy jr. is a kennedy in name only dani in madison, wisconsin. jeff, thank you for spectrum. now, from to cnn political commentators, former illinois republican congressman adam kinzinger and former biden white house communications director kate bedingfield. katie, how concerned should democrats be about about kenny, particularly wisconsin, i mean, biden only one by 21,000 votes there. >> yeah, absolutely. they need to take them seriously. i think they are. i mean this is a state that donald trump won by 20,000 votes in 2016 with a

third-party candidate on the ballot defeated hillary clinton. >> biden. then as we heard, won the state in 2020 by 20,000 votes. so the narrowest of margins, which means that any third party candidate has the potential to be a spoiler. so i think the biden campaign and democrats need to take this seriously. i think that they are, i think there's a little bit of a challenge for them and they don't want to further elevate him. i mean, really his currency, kennedy's currency right now is really attention, right? and so they don't want to give him more attention, but they also don't want to let them go unanswered. so i think one of the things the biden operation has to do is to really help educate people on the notion that a vote for robert f. kennedy is not a vote to put robert f. kennedy in the white house. there is really not a universe where he is going to get enough electoral votes to be present in the united states. a vote for robert f. kennedy is effectively going to be a vote for donald trump. and so i think they need to be very clear in terms of voter education on that. and then they also need their allies as they're doing. i think they need their allies out, pushing back on some of the most egregious things he said last night he was talking about joe

biden is a worse threat to democracy than donald trump. that's a ludicrous statement. and they need to make very clear that that's the kind of person he is. that's what he stands for and they need to make sure the stakes are understood. >> it's something congressman, last night on erin burnett show he essentially he was saying back when jill stein was running, he was speaking out against her campaign saying, look, it's, it's essentially a vote for trump he doesn't make the same argument obviously. now about his own campaign no, of course not. i mean, he's i don't know if he's doing this to elect donald trump, and this is just an attention play he's, as kate said, he's not going to win. he's not going to be president. >> but he, he >> could easily give this to donald trump. and here's the, here's the thing you've got to keep in mind. look who's running the super pac for robert f. kennedy jr. it's republicans. they're going to spend all of that super pac money not going after donald trump. they're going to be attacking joe biden with it. so from donald trump's

perspective, that's a good thing. that's why you have republicans running his superpac because they will be consistently trying to knock down joe biden then you think about just the fact that donald trump's supporters, i think are much less likely to say, goodness, there's this guy running for president who isn't donald trump, even though i like donald trump, i'm going to vote for him. we all know the base of trump's support is pretty rapid. >> but >> joe biden has this moment where there are some democrats that either aren't happy with them, whether it's gaza or anything else. and i think it's just more likely that they may peel off as a protest vote against invoked for kennedy and they could easily make donald trump, who was by far the biggest threat to democracy present in the united states. >> by the way, i misspoke. it wasn't jill stein. he was talking about about ralph nader back running. against a window al gore was running an errand, play that tape last night, or the gloves, do you think going to come home and you said that the biden white house shouldn't elevate kennedy, but do you think they will start directly taking him on?

>> i'd be surprised. i wouldn't expect that there would be a moment in this race where joe biden biden is going to directly go at robert f. kennedy jr. what i do think is that democratic. the democratic operation. i think democratic groups may need to start running ads. i think that allies of joe biden need to make sure that robert kennedy is defined. i don't know that there's going to be a moment where president biden himself is going to take robert kennedy on, but i don't think that there should be a i don't think it should be hands off. i think everyone should be very clear about the potential the potential threat that he poses and i think this is part of why you have allied groups. this is why you have groups that spend in this way outside of the spending from just purely from the presidential campaign. so there are ways that democrats can work to define him, including with paid advertising it doesn't require joe biden himself to take on robert kennedy in a way that would elevate him beyond where he should be elevated in the race. >> i didn't feel thanks very much, congressman kinzinger as well. thank you. coming up. present biden's reaction just into israel strike in gaza. they killed seven aid workers as they delivered food to

strike was not carried out with the intention of harming wck aid workers it was a mistake that followed a misidentificati on at night during a war in a complex conditions. it shouldn't have happened >> world central kitchen says the israeli military knew about the convoy in a weapons expert consulted by cnn said images of the damage indicate a precise drone strike carried out with total visibility of the target world central kitchen said its aid workers gotten to three vehicles after unloading aid at this warehouse in central gaza and began traveling down the coastal al rashid street. cnn geo-located the convoys deadly journey using images filmed at the scene three-and-a-half miles south of first vehicle is struck two other strikes rained down in quick succession. one vehicle is hit a half-mile

further, the third comes to a stop another mile down the road, found only the next day a little bit for you after last night between 11:00 and 11:30 p.m. and missile hit a car. when we approached, we saw the car on fire we try to extinguish the fire and upon opening the car, we discovered boxes of canned meat it was an international aid organisation that assists people any international or european organization that comes to aid gaza will be targeted. they want to send a message of don't can, you can let the people die shabby the israeli military has struck aid convoys in the past, including this un truck which was shelled in early february world central kitchen, founded in 2010 by celebrity chef jose andres, has been one of the most prominent aid organizations in gaza, even working with the israeli military last month to build a pier off the gaza coastline, delivering the first aid

shipments to gaza by sea. >> this is manchester where the date of australian zomi frankcom spent years coordinating aid operations for world central kitchen, risking and ultimately sacrificing >> her life to help those in need she died alongside her polish colleague, damian sobol. >> hello everyone, who came from carroll weeks earlier, he was excitedly readying a convoy to build soup kitchens in gaza get all their tables, shell water system. >> today, their bodies were among those headed for the rafah border crossing but the body of one of the seven will not leave gaza saif issam abu-taha, a driver and translator, was buried in central gaza not far from where he carried out his final mission. >> in jeremy diamond joins us now from jerusalem. i mean, this new explanation from the

idf chief of staff, it doesn't really explain anything well, they say they basically acknowledged that they targeted these vehicles, but they say that they didn't intend to kill >> or harm in any way the aid workers who were inside these vehicles that they were misidentified, but they aren't explaining exactly what they thought that they were targeting in the first place, but just think about the magnitude of this statement from the chief of staff of the israeli military. words like grave mistake, shouldn't have happened. we are sorry, these are not words that we have heard from the israeli military's top general since the beginning of this war. and it speaks of course to the gravity of what the israeli military actually did here. but it also speaks to this moment in time where israel is facing increasing international criticism, increasing pressure from the united states recognizing that a grave incident like this can be a turning point amid all of that pressure. and so in light of this, what they are doing is

they're pledging to create this joint command center to address aid distribution issues in the future. sure but human or humanitarian organizations on the ground have been complaining about a lack of coordination with the israeli military on these issues for months now. so it is notable that they're establishing this now, but major questions still remain anderson about this incident. questions that we will continue to ask and are certainly diamond. >> thanks very much more protection. how from cnn political and foreign policy analysts barak ravid, what are your sources telling you about this >> well, anderson, what i heard from several israeli officials over the last few hours is that it is clear to everybody that what happened with this, right? was a serious violation of the idea of protocols and rules of engagement to call it a miss identification or mistake that's the understatement of the century and this is not an isolated incident. the reason that we talk about it here is because it's wck, it's a very

well-known and famous ngo, but those incidents happen every few days in gaza. >> we've seen this throughout this entire exactly >> and >> you earlier have talked about it being a disconnect between what idf commanders maybe at headquarters thinking and what the troops on the ground are actually doing. >> yeah, you saw it, you saw on the video of the idf chief of staff herzi halevi. i'm sure that there are lots of idf commanders and soldiers in gaza did watch this video and say, what is he talking about >> okay. because there is a disconnect between how the idf senior brass is looking at at this and how it developed the rules of engagement and the orders. and what happens when those percolate down to the forces in gaza, especially to the field commanders. they lieutenant colonels, the kernels, the brigade commanders, the battalion commander's. they're not in the same place as the senior command >> said they're not in the same place, both literally, they're

there or in gaza they're not in headquarters and they're also the ones fighting and to have a different attitude about, let's just get this done. >> i think therein day each commander on the ground has a different interpretation of the orders. and this is why you see what you see that this is not for disaster this is a recipe for a disaster not only in gaza, but for the destruction of a. professional military. this is not how a professional military conducts its operations. and four years, the idf was considered not only here in the, but in the west overall as a very professional military. and what we've seen in this strike, but in many other strikes that we didn't talk about is that this thing during this war, this profession professionalism has gone away and then yahoo's response is often, well, this stuff happens. i mean, that he said that about this strike. he said that about the shooting of

israeli guy hi, who was trying to stop a terror attack. a, he said that multiple times. >> yeah. and this is why this incident shouldn't come as a surprise. you remember that just a few weeks ago, three israeli hostages that managed to escape their captors were killed by israeli soldiers who fight them, even though they were holding a white flag. okay. and, i spoke to an israeli reserve officer, was in the same unit to those soldiers who shot those hostages. and i remember him telling me that the orders are basically from the commanders on the ground is just shoot every menn in fighting age those are the orders, but those are, but that's not the rules of engagement that is coming from the idf leadership on the ground. that's what they're being told exactly. and >> this is the same thing. the at the end of the de the battalion commander of the brigade commander, i don't know who authorize the strike he interprets differently the orders that are coming from the

idf headquarters in tel aviv. wrapper, he'd appreciate it. >> thank you, troubling. >> just ahead. it's been more than 100 years since the 1921 tulsa race massacre. the only two surviving victims took their case, the oklahoma's highest court today to fight for justice details on that next >> introducing allison black psoriasis >> she thinks or >> flaky gray patches are all people see >> oh, tesla is the number one prescribed pill treat blacks or isis oh, tesla can help you get clear skin and reduce itching and flaking with no routine blood tests required >> doctor chris had been prescribing you tesla for nearly a decade >> oh, tesla is >> also approved to treat psoriatic arthritis don't use are tesla, if you're allergic to it? serious allergic reactions? we've can happen. oh, tesla may cause severe diarrhea, nausea, or vomiting. some people taking new tesla

>> crap. >> now, we got to get france something. >> we could use. xi's new gift mode. >> all right. >> done not. to do four more >> who would get you. today attorneys for the two lone survivors, the 1921 tulsa race massacre began pleading their case to argue for reparations. the oklahoma supreme court the survivors are now both 109 years old and they've been entangled in a years-long legal battle against the city of tulsa and other officials. the events leading up to the massacre started in may 1921, 19 year-old black shoe shiner ran from an elevator in a downtown building after the elevator's teen operator screamed rumors of rape began to circulate white tulsans formed a lynch mob and black tulsans gathered at the jail to defend the shoe shiner according to the tulsa sheriff at the time, quote, all hell broke loose on june 1, 1921,

within a span of less than 24 hours, the white mob destroyed about 35 blocks okay, so the city's greenwood district, known as black wall street thousands of black residents were arrested. rob beaten, killed. now, i'll more than 100 years later, the only two survivors are fighting for justice. cnn's omar jimenez as their story what do you remember about the time? >> playful yet and killed and houses property, schools, churches, and stores getting destroyed with fire. and then someone in the neighborhood send to lee the neighborhood, if not, we're going to kill all of them but people, it just stays with me, you know, it's the fear that i have lived in tulsa sense that if i don't sleep all night living there, 109 year-old's mother, fletcher, as she's known, is one of only two people alive who remember firsthand what the 1921 tulsa race massacre was like sitting with us alongside her grandson and nice. how do

you think your life would have been different if this had not happened >> a little gotten an education to where i could get a better job like especially being a nurse. >> it's part of why tuesday lawyers for these survivors argued to the oklahoma supreme court that tulsa has it's to look at what the massacre survivors lost and make things right >> and we're hoping this court will give us the opportunity to prove our case back in 2022 was when a judge initially allowed part of their case to move forward >> if >> coming fletcher's younger brother, known as uncle redd, also was a survivor but in may 2023, on viola fletcher's 109th birthday she was back in court fighting a new motion to dismiss the case >> i didn't feel very nice about it, but i'm willing to do that again, you know, and she's being tested on that because a few months later, the case was dismissed. so the family his appealed to the oklahoma supreme court or the

defendants argued in part, these individual plaintiffs lacked standing to bring a claim for public nuisance. >> this hearing, a new chance for the survivors >> but uncle >> redd died before he got that chance. he passed away in october 2023 at 100 two years old. >> his >> daughters carrying on his fight a fight. the signifies about a century loss of families trying to do what families are supposed to do. give the next-generation a solid head start instead of having a leg up for my father and my father having a leg up for me. all we had was setbacks. i had to do 20 years in the military to break the curse and fletcher's grandson says, it can be traced to his grandmother in 1921. now, throughout the interview, his grandmother's hearing wasn't always perfect. >> he said, even after >> everything happened, he often had to repeat my questions. but as we wrapped up >> all right. you look great. you sound great >> well, good.

>> oh, you heard that she still has hope. the >> other 109 year-old survivor is lessie benningfield randle. her family told cnn in part, we plead for this case to advance. let us honor them while they're still with us >> i think we should get justice and i think the courts should feel the same way when i went to high school, i knew about the trail of tears, but greenwood was never mentioned and so i think regardless of what happens you're all to be commended for making sure that that will never happen again, it will be in the history books omar joins us now. so what happens? how do are they? do they more options if this doesn't work well at this point, it is in the hands of the oklahoma supreme court. now, i was just talking to some of the attorneys from team a few minutes ago and they said, based on the public nuisance claim, which is what they are using to push through this particular fight. if this doesn't work now, that's really the end of the road before this particular claim.

and just to put everything in perspective here, it's not like if the supreme court justices rule in favor of the survivors, they get what they were here for and then they go home. happy. this is just for the opportunity to go to trial. so if they rule in their favorite, this just goes back down to a lower district and then you begin the process toward a trial which you and i both know takes time. both of these survivors or 109 years old and it's time that they may not have a lot of left anderson. >> and we're jimenez. thanks so much. appreciate it coming up next. breaking news from taiwan, which has just been rocked by major earthquake destructive storms also hitting parts of the country. and tonight, millions more people face the threat of severe weather and the us, we're going to update from chad myers and the cnn weather center on all of it ahead >> first time in prison >> he didn't inside before yeah, >> have you ever tried to tell anyone why you did it >> to me? i'll story he got one.

the region. it was centered winter stand off the island's east coast and measured out as a magnitude 7.4 according to the us geological survey senior chad meyers joins his now with the latest. so chad, what are you hearing >> anderson, but we do know that this was a slightly shallow earthquakes somewhere in that 37 to 40 kilometer range. so there was a lot of surface the shaking up behind me here, obviously, i was preparing here for the severe weather across parts of north america here we do have the potential for tornadoes all the way through the overnight hours, but the shaking that we saw in taiwan was on the east side of the island. >> the >> least populated side of the island here for taiwan, although for the most part you think about because of hurricanes and cyclones of taiwan, that is the area that's the area that we're

seeing most of the worst weather would come in. so most of the population centers are on the other side would be on the west side. this was still a very significant quake for quite a few people. i mean, 445,000 people still live in that county. and so yes, we do see quite a few of them. we see somewhere in the neighborhood of about 15 earthquakes per year that are in the ballpark of seven to eight. so a significant shaking, many of them are underwater and so we don't feel them on land but we are going to obviously see some damage. we do know that some of the buildings have collapsed there in the city julio and city. and this is the area that we will be watching all night long to see more pictures, to see more stories come in from that area as the night goes on. and i >> can, in terms of the weather here, what more can you tell us about what to expect? >> all the way through the evening we are going to see the potential for severe weather. some of these storms will be rotating. they will put down

some 20. we've had five tornadoes yesterday, five or so, so far today. and i do believe now that we're getting dark this is the problem we're going to have that people may not be able to get the warnings because they're sleeping. if you're going to bed now in the ohio valley, make sure you have warnings turned on on your phone, either unknown whether radio turned on or some other way to get a warning. if a tornado is heading to you, the likelihood is going down now this getting dark, but it's not over. >> we >> still have the potential for severe weather overnight tonight. >> anderson >> and there's going to be possible rain and snow. i know there's already been written up on the northeast. there may be snow as well, right? >> that's right. i mean, there is a blizzard warning right now for the up of michigan, that upper part of michigan with snow and wind, wind could be 50 to 60 miles per hour. >> this is what we >> get this time of year, spring say, hey, i'm here winter saying, hey, not so fast. and that's this clash of air masses that
