this election is he speaking to? is he trying to harness here among for voters? >> i think he's just trying to push this idea of, you know the criticism of him being a one of the authoritarian, i want to be dictator trying to push that onto joe biden and saying, look, if he wins this election, he's just going to be a dictator forever and the country is going to be totally lost, right? that is his response. i think to what we're seeing being charged against him by democrats and to the extent that this will work probably not, but in states like wisconsin for example, and michigan, where these margins were so razor-thin in both 20202016, this type of rhetoric could turn off, on, off republican voters enough independent voters, such that it could make a difference. and i think it's really fascinating that you're seeing republicans and trump in particular pivot back to this immigration-related rhetoric in the wake of the newsweek got a couple of days ago on the

abortion issue, for example, in the state of florida, democrats feel like they can really capitalize on this issue. republican since are trying to find an issue that they feel like they can capitalize on once again, immigration and border security is something that they feel like is a winning issue for them. of course, that's made more complicated by the fact that republicans and killed the bipartisan border security agreement that was reached between a group of senators and the white house earlier this year. so i think this is really an attempt by republicans to shift the narrative back to an issue immigration and border security that they think is beneficial to them. at the same time that democrats are set to benefit from the abortion issue good luck. >> and as this takes on, you control, you control and shift the narrative. you control the message. better chance you have of winning up, up and down the ticket jackie scratches you, andrew. thank you so much for coming on. new our scene, a new central starts now the breaking

news dramatic >> video of destruction, the worst earthquake to hit taiwan in 25 years. this morning, the frantic search for survivors an extraordinary moment at the white house. a doctor walked out of a meeting with the president. so what caused this tense moment and what observers see as special counsel, jack smith bursting with frustration his major move overnight to push back on the judge overseeing the mar-a-lago documents case. zara is out i'm john berman with kate baldwin. this is cnn news central >> overnight >> special counsel, jack smith, taking on the judge, overseeing the classified documents, case in a new way, confronting judge aileen cannon over her requests for jury instructions that embraced donald trump's claims that he had brought authority

to take the documents with him when he left the white house smith pushing back hard on this, writing this in part in the filing the court should be aware at the outset that trump's entire effort to rely on the pra, the presidential records act is not based on any facts. it is a post-hoc justification that has concocted that was concocted more than a year after he left the white house also, this saying there is no basis in law or fact for that legal presumption the court should reject trump's effort to invent one as a vehicle to inject the presidential records act into this case. let's get over to cnn, zach cohen for much more on the zak, there was a lot to read is this came in while everyone was sleeping. what else is a special counsel saying here? >> yeah. okay. this simmering frustration that we've been sensing from jack smith towards aileen cannon, the judge in this case seemed to come to a head last night in this filing from the special counsel's office, they are taking issue with this odd order from aileen cannon that came in about last

month, and it asks both sides to submit briefs for these jury instructions outlining two different scenarios. one, outlining is a jury instructions that assumes that the president has the authority under the presidential records act to take these classified records home. and the second one is a scenario where it assumed that donald trump had broad authority as president to declassify different different documents both of which jack smith argues could quote distort the trial. if the jury is sort of read in on these on these two scenarios as if they are fact, as you read in the interests, do i mean, he takes serious issue with aileen cannon sort of assumption that both of these scenarios should be in the jury's minds as they hear testimony. once an or if and when this case goes to trial >> zach, thank you so much for that >> all right. with us now, cnn legal analyst, former chief assistant district attorney of the manhattan district attorney's office. karen friedman, agnifilo karen, this filing overnight from jack

smith in some of the language you can read, the frustration. it's zippy saying, come on. >> like no >> one takes this seriously. how can you make us file something like this? what do you read in here >> look, it's not unusual for a judge to ask the parties for proposed jury instructions before a trial. >> but what >> is unusual is she posed to hypothetical scenarios, both of which have no basis in the law. she's trying to inject the presidential records act which donald trump is not charged with violating the presidential records act. he's charged with a law, the espionage act that has been in existence for 100 years. and there are many jury instructions that our samples are examples that she could have drawn from, but none look anything like the hypotheticals that she is proposing. and in both scenarios, he's essentially saying to the jury

that this donald trump can decide whether he can possess these highly classified documents. and so in either scenario, there's no way that you would convict tim. and so jack smith is frustrated saying that's not the law here. and why are we instruct? why are you proposing that we give an unlawful instruction to the jury? and so he's asking her to rule one way or the other because he's clearly going to he's setting this up for an appeal and i think although he doesn't say it in his motion, his frustration indicates to me that he is getting ready to ask that she be recused from this case. this is just one of a series of strange unlawful whether it's orders or decisions that she has made that is made legal analysts across the country scratch their heads because they make no sense. they don't look anything like what people are used to or what's in the law. >> and

>> so she's an experienced she is not a judge who's been around for a long time and i think her inexperience is really showing because she's just doing things that have no basis in the law and play this play that out for us. if he's setting up for an appeal, if this simmering frustration is seen and you see that kind of potentially leading for him, asking for her to be recused. how what does that do to this in tie process? >> so it obviously will delay it because he would jack smith would file a writ of mandamus with the 11th circuit court of appeals. and that obviously takes time. but although there is a trial date set for may, there is no scenario in which this trial will go in may because there are so many rulings that this judge still has not ruled on, including the classified information procedures act and other rulings that just are our

foundational and need to be ruled upon. so this is this case is not going anytime in the near future. anyway, although judge cannon has not said that nor has she put of more a future trial date on the calendar. i think jack smith is not worried. i would assume about the fact that his appeal will delay things. and also look, he has no choice at this point because once a juror, a jury is sworn, something called jeopardy attack matches, which means that that if they if she does give these erroneous instructions and they acquit, he can appeal that double jeopardy will apply, and that's the case is over forever. so this is the kind of issue that you can't appeal later. so it has to happen now. and these instructions are tailored so much in favor of trump and for an acquittal that jack smith would have no choice but to appeal this. >> now, it's almost an active legal desperation that we've got to do it now or never, kate, you wanted to ask about

the new york criminal case, just leaning on your experience when it comes to this expanded gag order and donald trump calling out the judge on through social yesterday, calling him a corrupt new york judge saying there's virtually never been a more conflicted judge, then this one, you have been before this judge. you've been before merchan before you know, this, judge, how does he operate in a courtroom? >> he's a very down the middle, judge. you nobody would say he's pro defense or pro prosecution. he's like, uh, judges judge wright, he calls balls and strikes. he's very measured. he's not one to lose his temper. he's not one to be friendly with people. he just he comes in he does his job and he does it in a understated way. yet he also keeps very tight control of his courtroom and so he is someone who he's the kinda judge you'd want on a case like this to call him bias, to call him somebody who's partisan, that is not

something that those of us who have appeared before him for years, many years, whatever say about this, judge, you could say that about some other judges, but this is not that kind of judge >> carefree me. i feel a great to have you on this morning. thanks so much. so just in a huge jump in the number of people injured in the earthquake in taiwan. and we are standing by for an update on the more than 100 people still trapped in the bumble and new election results overnight shows donald trump lost thousands of votes, a candidate no longer in the race for the first-time the fda is cleared. a digital treatment for depression. the new app you need a prescription to download check >> we hear nothing >> a space shuttle accident, it's usually not one thing. it's a series of events is that part of the wing coming apart >> space shuttle columbia, final flight premieres sunday

bottled very clearly just tumbling off of shells and shattering all across the floor in this one cafe, the earthquake also hit during the morning commute. and we're showing you video right now. you see off in the left side of your screen that cloud of dust just descending on this town is the earthquake caused a massive landslide cnn's hanako montgomery is tracking all of this continuing for us for showing this live video right beside you, hannah go, what's the very latest that you're hearing from authorities >> yeah cate i mean really, really shocking video like you just showed there. so in terms of the scale of devastation, like you mentioned, we know that at least nine people have died and more than 900 people have been injured because of this really powerful earthquake and the subsequent aftershocks that have shaped get the island. now, we also know that of the nine who were killed, all of them were found dead in hualien county, which is like you mentioned on the eastern side of taiwan. and it was very

close to the epicenter. it's also where we're seeing most of the significant damage take place in taiwan. now for some context, while and county is a really really popular tourist destination. it's a rural area and it's also coincidentally where most of taiwan's earthquakes actually take place. now, in qual county, authorities are telling us that 137 people are still trapped. we knew that some people were trapped in tunnels. those people were safely rescued, but now we're hearing that hundred and 37 people, a majority of them in a mining area are still trapped now, authorities are trying to rescue them by deploying military troops who are working with local governments in trying to evacuate these people, try to get them to safety. now, taiwanese authorities are also warning people in taiwan about aftershocks they're saying in the next several days we could see aftershocks with magnitudes ranging from 6.5 to 7.0, which are really actually quite astounding. and let me tell you as someone who lives in a really seismically active country, japan, these

aftershocks are no joke. i mean, you never know when they're going to start. you never know when they're going to stop and it almost feels like the shaking just never, ever stops, kate. >> now, also because of these aftershocks, were seeing plans disrupted for tomb sweeping day tombs, hooping de, in the chinese speaking world is when people visit their ancestors tombs and pay them respects say hello to their loved ones. but again, because of these aftershocks and the damage that we're seeing just across taiwan, many people are just having to put an end to their plans. >> cate absolutely. >> hanako keeps updated. thank you very much for that, john. yeah. >> there's nothing more unnerving. and after shucks yeah. coming after earthquakes like this this morning, more than 35 million people along the east coast under severe weather alerts from the same system that spawn tornadoes and powerful storms in the south and midwest overnight. one of those tornadoes touchdown and kentucky ripping apart homes and leaving a trail of debris meteorologists elisa raffa joins us now the sun is coming up in some of these areas. what

are we seeing >> we can really see the damage is left behind after two very active date for a lot of the country, we're looking at at least 12 tornadoes reported just on the overnight last night stretching from kentucky, tennessee, even down towards georgia and the alabama's and when gas reported as much as 90 to 100 miles per hour in some places, we still have a tornado watch in effect for southern georgia, the florida panhandle through 1:00 this afternoon because we're still finding tornadoes spinning up along this line right now, we have a severe 30 warning for parts of southern georgia. the storm no stretches all the way up into new england and the great lakes. i mean, look at this heavy rain coming into new york and philly, snow in chicago just wide ranging problems. flood watches and in fact, for most of pennsylvania and new jersey, because we could get one to three inches of rain to come down pretty quickly. and this storm has so much spin to it. we've got wind alerts on either side of the storm and with all of that spin, that's where we're getting the severe

weather risk. so it continues today from dc down through charleston, down to orlando and tampa for damaging winds, primarily today, large hail still can't rule out an isolated tornado. the storm system continues to spin through today, could see the heavy rain slinging through some big cities the east coast from new york up to boston. but that cold air starts to sandwich in from behind. so we start to get the mixing of the ice and the snow as we go through the next day or two and yes, it is april. look at the winter alerts for up to a foot of snow, even a blizzard warning up in parts of the great lakes, or at least raffa, 15 inches of snow and snow ports, new england. >> wow all right. >> it is april. it is time to be done with this coming up for us. outrage from the oval office. president biden, with some of his harshest words yet and criticizing israel after the strike that killed aid workers with world central kitchen, more coming from the white house on this today. and a cascade of avoiding the double errors. the new government review hitting

that killed the aid workers in gaza. but biden aired his frustrations also to a small group of muslim community leaders during a meeting at the white house last night, though, one palestinian-american doctor in the meeting walked out in the middle of it in protest here he is speaking to cnn afterward >> we are not satisfied with what has taken place. there has been no concrete steps, but keep in mind, we're very concerned about the people that are over in the gaza strip that are in palestine right now, who are not just starving, but are facing the threat of a looming rafah invasion and so i was able to share that with the president and let him know that out of respect for my community, out of respect for all of the people who have suffered and what have been killed in the process. i need to walk out of the meeting cnn's arlette sciences at the white house with more on this. one more is president biden saying now our love >> will k president biden's a statement on the deaths of these world central kitchen workers really amount to some of his sharpest language. yet

when it comes to criticizing israel for its operations in gaza senior administration official told cnn that the death of these aid workers has really raised the frustrations of president biden and his top advisers to a whole new level that was evidenced in the statement released by biden last night where the very first words written were quote, i am outraged. the president also use that statement as an opportunity to call out israel for not doing enough to protect civilians and humanitarian workers in gaza. he said, quote, this conflict has been one of the worst in recent memories in terms of how many aid workers have been killed. this is a major reason why distributing humanitarian aid in gaza so it has been so difficult because israel has not done enough to protect aid workers trying to deliver desperately needed help to civilians. incidents like yesterday's simply should not happen president also picked up the phone to talk with chef jose andres, founder of world central kitchen to express his

condolences for the lives lost, including one dual us canadian citizen. but this moment, a really highlight some of the tension that we've seen between the us and israel the president has increasingly he called for israel to take greater care when it comes to protecting civilians and also urging them to get more humanitarian aid into the country. of course, the president's also facing pressure here at home from a arab, muslim and young voters frustrated with his handling of this crisis but one of the big questions going forward is whether the deaths of these aid workers will alter the president strategy in any way when it comes to approach to dealing with israel and netanyahu good question. thank >> you so much, arlette, great to see you coming up for us. taylor swift is entering yet another new era and there are 1 billion reasons to be even more impressed with her latest milestone. >> and >> a swing-state scare for president biden, new polling out that suggests this morning he is facing an uphill battle hill climb in several

to commit more support from its own for ukraine and rely less on contributions that's as as for ukraine's nato membership, the nato chief said, quote, it is a question of when not if cnn's nic robertson is watching all this, he is more forest an important moment for nato leaders. nato four minutes, naibe, ministers to be meeting right now, nick sure. >> it's the 75th anniversary. the next big meeting will be the leaders meeting in washington. so there's kinda ties that up is the first meeting where you have sweden, so 32 members of nato now, and a very ambitious meeting there'll be some wrangling of course. but what jens stoltenberg is talking about is a another dynamic shifting the dynamic of funding for ukraine multiple reasons for this, but fundamentally, what countries like the united states or the nato members, which by the way provide about 99% of the military support going to ukraine. what they've been doing is dipping into their own inventory has and getting rid of stock. we heard about the french over the weekend sending

several hundreds of used armored fighting vehicles. so what's required is according to stoltenberg, is a really serious commitment over a number of years. five years is what is talking about a figure of $100 he wants to be committed for that five-year period. so that ukraine can plan the war. so the arms manufacturers can open new production lines and know that there's a long-term commitment for to keep producing that. i mean, the artillery shells for example, that ukraine is in short supply of some people are interpreting this, this five-year hundred billion dollar plan as trump proofing nato and ukraine against the possibility that donald trump gets, it gets reelected. there's that. but as i say, that won't be plain sailing to get draft and get and get everyone on board with this >> nic robertson. great to see you. thank you so much, nick john >> all right. this morning counting votes in four states that had presidential

primaries. yes, donald trump easily wanted connecticut, new yorker, island of wisconsin >> but nikki >> haley took more than 10% of the vote in each contest, the same. nikki haley, who dropped out a month ago. cnn senior political analyst, ron brownstein is with us this morning, has been a lot of talk about how president biden has been having a little difficulty in the primers in terms of small percentage of votes going against him. but here's donald trump. any completely cleared fields still shedding ten to 15%. what does that tell you? >> yeah, they're each dealing with fractured coalitions. you know, i mean, the haley vote is kind of zombie haley vote after she is left the race, has been heavily concentrated among the kinds of voters were resisted trump from the outset and where republicans have retreated the most in the trump era and they're mostly white-collar or suburban voters who probably agree more with republicans on economic issues and other issues, maybe immigration and crime. but fine trump, unacceptable as an affront to

their values and potentially a threat to democracy itself. and that's where biden has to go to try to offset what we're seeing in polls in terms of an erosion from 20 particularly among non-white voters evident again, in these new wall street journal, swing-state polls today. >> ron, do you have a sense of which dissenting group is most guessable for which opposing candidate. in other words, are the ten to 15% of people still voting against donald trump, morgue edible for president biden than the 10% or so voting uncommitted against president biden. guessable for donald trump >> i think the uncommitted for president biden are likely third-party voters. i mean, they are dissenting at biden from the left unlikely to end up with trump in the end, by the way, i would note that last night in dane county, wisconsin, which is madison, which is now eclipsing in milwaukee as the state, as the county, providing the biggest

margins for democrats in the state, 15% of voters voted an effect uncommitted. as part of the process test against his posture on gaza, which increasingly appears to be really tearing apart the democratic coalition. i think trump's voters, as i said, are mostly the haley voters that are persisting are the white collar voters where trump has had the most problems. they're pretty negative on biden also, from my experience of talking to haley voters in new hampshire and south carolina and so there may be a limit on how many of them he can attract. >> but that as i >> said, is certainly the most obvious pool of voters where biden can go to offset what seems likely to be defections and his own camp among younger voters and non-white voters. >> you've been focusing quite a lot on michigan. ron, what do you see there? >> yeah. you know, john, if you rank the states in 2016 and 2020 from the most democratic to the most republican each time was constant, was the tipping point state it was a 270 electoral college vote for

trump when he won, it was the 270 electoral college vote for biden when he went on i started the year, assuming that it was going to be the tipping point state again, but if you look at the polling consistently, it's moved slightly toward the democratic side of the line. as i said, largely because of these astounding democratic margins that they are posting with increasing vote shares in the area around madison, michigan now seems like the state that is right at the 270 electoral college vote. biden can lose his sunbelt breakthroughs of arizona and georgia. and even nevada, and he can win nonetheless, if he reassembles the blue wall states of michigan, pennsylvania, wisconsin, plus this one electoral college vote in omaha pennsylvania, and wisconsin. look decent for biden and his difficult national polling this spring. but, but michigan is tough and it's not only the discontent over gaza, it is the possibility of depressed black

margins and turnout in detroit and trump's big push at a white blue-collar workers around the idea that the ev transition is going to sink domestic auto industry that seems to me right now, the state where biden may have the toughest climate is the weakest link in the blue wall and is the one where they are going to have to figure out how to reassemble the coalition. the irony of course, is that of the three blue wall states, it's probably moving the most back toward democrats since 2016, retro whipped, we just won by a double-digit arjun, but for biden personally, it looks like the toughest of the three. and those three looks like a better bet right now than the sun belt >> and look for joe biden in 2020, he won michigan by well over 100,000 votes. which different story than the other swing states? ron, what do you see? he every day from the biden campaign that shows you that tear acutely aware of this >> yeah. i mean, look, they spent a lot of time in michigan. i'm sure they are spending a lot of money in michigan >> but you know >> ultimately, there are choices that biden is making. i

mean, if you look at polling now 75% of democrats say they oppose the israeli military action in gaza, 65% roughly say they oppose further aid. and a recent quinnipiac poll, 5% of democrats. so they had a favorable opinion of benjamin netanyahu. and for all the words that biden is offering of criticism, he is not really followed those with meaningful deeds as that participant in the meeting that you had on the air a few minutes ago, noted. so for biden is making choices. i mean, there are other issues defending abortion rights is going to be a huge, i think asset for him in michigan after voters approve the constitutional amendment to keep it legal there, the possibility that trump could go over their heads as well as in pennsylvania, wisconsin, and supersede their efforts with a national band that is going to be an important asset for biden. but the choices he's making on israel and gaza ultimately affect his ability to hold together the coalition. and right now, you are seeing the seams of the democratic

coalition pulling apart on this issue. >> ron brownstein, great to see you this morning. thanks so much >> cate. >> so a small town in oklahoma is getting a new councilman and it's a sign of a much bigger conversation happening around the country. people in enid, oklahoma, voting out commissioner judd blevins over his participation in the deadly white nationalist rally in charlottesville, virginia back in 2017, people in enid watched the vote live mimicking some of the white nationalist rallying cries that we heard in charlottesville back in 2017. cnn's ed lavandera joins us live from enid >> ed, you had a lot of >> conversations with people on the ground there. this is a small town carrying a big message well, the tension here has been extremely thick for much of the last year when judd

blevins was first >> elected to this city council here in enid, oklahoma last year. he won by just 36 votes, 808 people voted in that ward one election. but last night and in the months after he took office a small group of activists here kind of started sounding the alarm about his controversial past, his participation in charlottesville rally back in 2017 a right-wing watchers, a group which monitors far-right wing activities. also published reports that he had participated in a white nationals let's group online also making comments in chat groups that were highly controversial. and then judd blevins spent the last several weeks and months defending himself is very difficult to pinpoint exactly what he was making of his controversial past at times apologetic, asking for forgiveness, but other times, defnt but las night voters herand ward one ofce, but judd blevins did

win about 40% of the votes. nevertheless, activists here say they are relieved >> part of the mission of those really virulent ultra right-wing, conservative movements. is to normalize these horrible beliefs. we can't normalize these strange beliefs. we can't allow it to be tacitly accepted in the community because that's a starting point point that we can't let them take root >> take the kennedy that one, cheryl patterson, she's expected to take office in the coming days. because after the election is officially certified later this week it's great to have you there. i'd thank you so much. it's great to see john. >> all right. uh, first of its kind, treatment for depression online, the new app that now has the green light from the fda and pearl jam and nora jones, nikki menasha, and darius rucker, the collaboration. you were not expecting and honestly maybe

who had coordinated their movements with the israel defense forces it goes on to say in the worst conditions after the worst terrorist attack in its history, it's time for the best of israel to show up. yesterday. prime minister benjamin netanyahu, he spoke out, he took responsibility for their strike. listen that's all unfortunately, in the last day, there was a tragic incident where our forces unintentionally struck innocent people in the gaza strip well, it happens in war, and we are thoroughly investigating it >> jose andres responded directly to netanyahu, was it happens in war comments saying this in his opinion piece, it was a it was a direct attack on clearly marked vehicles whose movements were known by the israel defense forces it was also the direct result of a policy that's squeezed humanitarian aid two desperate levels joining us right now is ambassador james jeffrey. he's

a former us envoy for syria engagement also the former us ambassador to iraq and turkey ambassador is great to have you here. thank you for coming on. and president biden, he spoke out in a new statement saying that he's outraged and heartbroken, in part saying that israel has not done enough to protect aid, aid workers to deliver desperately needed help to civilians. he goes on to say that the united states has repeatedly urged israel to deconflicted military operations against hamas with humanitarian operations in order to avoid civilian casualties. what do you hear in this statement from president biden being described as some of his harshest criticism, yet publicly toward israel well, first of all, thank you for having me on kate president biden is getting increasingly not just impatient, but very, very >> nervous about this military campaign. not just for domestic political reasons as you just reported a few minutes ago, but

also because of the impact on the region basically, biden understands is real as fighting an existential battle. not just but particularly in gaza against a ran and ran back surrogates throughout the region. and this is a fight that the united states has joined israel and for good reason the problem is the way israel is carrying it out. as we just heard from the head of the world central kitchen. israel's rules of engagement, as we call them for using force in this battle, a far too loose, they must be tightened. president biden needs to insist on this and they're the specific steps such as opening new crossings from north gaza into israel to let more food in. and israel returning to cooperation with the main un organization, when ross that provides food to some 1.1 million people in gaza under good conditions every today

these are things that president biden needs to really insist on before he gives a greenlight for any more new israeli offensive actions >> you, you've mentioned iran and i wanted to ask you about that because you have been speaking about this very forcefully for some time and i was noting just in late march you're talking about the bigger picture here that shouldn't be lost even though each, every instance is important saying that the thing that drives all of this conflict intention, israel gazan beyond, is iran. you said this isn't just about the israelis enough from the hamas in gaza. this is about iran and its surrogates in the whole region the bigger issue is around that iran has been running roughshod throughout the region. what is the right amount of pushback to what iran is doing is the israeli strike in syria that we've been reporting about, is is that the right way >> because this is a war there

is no perfect answer. it's a question of risks, assessments probabilities. we have struck a ran hod several times, 1988, uranian navy and the tanker war obviously, qassem soleimani in 2020. and just a couple of months ago, we struck back hard after three american soldiers were killed in jordan, ran usually, but not always pulls back when they hit hot. and that's what the israelis are trying to do i stand by my words that the main issue is this regional struggle that's been going on for 20 years with a ran on one side, israel dus and moderate states on the other. the problem is if the israelis are not careful, the number one issue was going to be civilian casualties and humanitarian assistance. that is the terrible strategic mistake they're making right now. >> the former russian president and former russian prime minister dmitry medvedev, he

reacted to the damascus strike this way, saying it would be interesting to see what would happen if iran hypothetically attack the us embassy in israel. i see vivid fear and confusion in the eyes of the americans. he's known especially recently for his inflammatory language, but what is he doing here? are you how at risk or us interests are they more at risk today because of the strike in syria? >> it's hard to evaluate in advance arena and reactions. i don't think so. i think our ram has tried very hard to keep out of this conflict so far, allowing its surrogates, not just hamas, but his bullet in southern lebanon and the houthis in yemen attacking red sea shipping to carry the weight of this battle nonetheless, this is somewhat cynical or ran has hit many embassies. they hit my residency when i was in baghdad in 2011. so this is a really absurd on the part of the russians calling out a ran for

attacking embassy is saying, are inmate attack me season or in does attack embassies >> ambassador, it is great to have you here to lean on all of your expertise. thank you so much for your time >> john. >> a scathing new report this morning, written microsoft over lapses and security after a hack of top us government officials emails last year it says it was preventable in never should have happened. chinese hackers ended up getting access to more than 60,000 emails. senior officials, including commerce secretary gina raimondo, had been part of seed and cybersecurity reporter, sean lyngaas is with us now what's going on here? shot? >> john cyber espionage by world powers where there'd be russia, china, or the us is going to happen. there's going to be spying on email accounts but the way in which this happened is really incensed senior us officials. it was the state department and not microsoft that originally caught the alleged chinese hackers snooping through their

email systems. and this new review that you referenced was out last night, found that this issue was entirely preventable, that microsoft did not have a good idea of access to a cryptographic key that the company uses to sign emails that the chinese hackers were allegedly able to to now, microsoft has owning up to this. they've said that they're instituting a series of changes in their security practices. and that there are a constant target of state-backed hackers. and that is absolutely true. but what this shows is that major tech companies microsoft, google, others are going to be conduits for espionage or attempted espionage. and, that it directly implicates us national security interests. so this review board, which is modeled after the national transportation safety board, is to investigate big hacks has found big fault with microsoft and they're demanding changes and how they conduct business with the us government. john all right. sean lyngaas. thanks so much for that report this

morning >> so first of its kind, treatment for depression has been given the green light by the fda. it's called rejoyn, and it's the first ever prescription digital treatment for depression. a six-week program you complete through an app on your phone along with prescribed antidepressant medications. fascinating, seen as thank trial is much more on this. meg. >> how does this work >> yeah. so as you said, this is a prescription app that has got the fda greenlight for major depressive disorder. we know millions of americans have depression and many don't get enough benefit from antidepressants alone. so this is actually being developed and sold by a pharmaceutical company but he called a sukha, which has antidepressant medications. this is a six week of training program, essentially using cognitive behavioral therapy and emotional training exercises where people engage with this app either every day or multiple times per week over a six-week period than they have another month where they've still got an access to this. they say he then in a clinical trial, this showed benefit in

people already on antidepressant medications. however, there are questions among experts in the field about how great that benefit is. and that leads to questions about how widely prescribed this wil by doctors and whether wl covered by insurancthat has been an uphill battle for ese dital therapeutic tools that many companiebut 's ve tried to develop, we don't know the price.e do know the mpany says it should be available later this year. guys >> so interesting, mega, it's great to see you as always. thank you so much. >> the next hour >> of cnn news central starts right now >> happeng now >> he urgent search for >> survivors after a devastating earthquake, hundred still trapped under the rubble this morning the biggest names in music warning against artificial intelligence. they say, it could sabotage their creativity. sarah is out today. i'm john berman with kate bolduan. this this is cnn news cera
