you or a. loved one have mesothelial >> and we'll come to you >> 808 to one 4,000 this is cnn breaking news >> and we do start this hour with breaking news. a judge has upheld the criminal indictment against former president donald trump in georgia. the judge, they're rejecting this argument that trump's efforts to overturn the 2020 election were protected under the first amendment. >> we have cnn, sara murray with us. she's part of the team that broke this story. sarah, walk us through some of the details >> we'll look, we've heard these arguments last week, especially from trump attorney steve sadow saying that, you know, everything donald trump did in the state of georgia to overturn the 2020 election should just be covered under the first amendment. it's protected political speech. the

the indictment should just be tossed out the judge today, he is not going to throw out the indictment. he did have some comments about how essentially using this speech in furtherance of an alleged crime means that it's not protected under the first amendment. he made that very clear. now, he didn't rule out the possibility that defendants, including former president trump, could bring it's up later, potentially add a trial in front of the jury and we heard from trump attorney steve sadow, today's saying while they disagree with this ruling from the judge, they're going to look at their other options, moving forward, guys >> and so the timeline here, what is the latest on this one? might this actually get started? >> you know, it's a great question i'm going to, look into the tea leaves. yeah, look what we know >> ball look. >> yeah, what we know is fulton county district attorney fani willis wants to get this trial underway. she's made it clear that she is ready to go to trial as soon as august. and of course, the trump team is happy to let this take as long as possible and we have not heard

from the judge. it's up to him. him when he wants to set this trial date, he's got a little bit skeptical about the notion that trump and his 14 remaining co-defendants should all go to trial together, but he hasn't made any comments recently about a potential trial date or how he might want to split up this bucket of remaining co-defendants. >> there's also speculation out there, partly because of his ruling on fani willis being able to stay on the case that we may see a gag order a filing, asking for a gag order on the da from the trump team. what are you hearing from sources about that? >> that's right. my colleagues that cohen, jason morris, and i are reporting out that there have been some discussions among defendants for these trump allies and their attorney sort of thing. is it time for us to go to the judge and say you know, you got a gag fani willis, you can't have her out here making comments about this case. she's appeared at a number of events you suggested that some of the scrutiny that she's getting is racially motivated in his ruling. judge mcafee allowing fani willis to stay on the case. he all but invited defense attorneys to come to him and asked for a gag order. he said it might be hi,

to preclude any kind of public comments. now, they still have this appeal going on. they're still trying to get willis disqualified from the case. so a number of attorneys are kind of like, let's wait and see if we can get our kicked off entirely. that would be our preferred outcome here. but in the meantime, this is something that they're sort of discussing. the other caveat here, no no defense in this case. we want this to boomerang back around. they don't want a judge to say, okay, fani willis can talk about the case, but neither can donald trump, neither can rudy giuliani, neither can georgia gop chair david shafer. these are all people who have been out here talking about the case and fani willis on social media and in interviews, that's a really, really interesting point, sara. thank you so much. for that. i want to go now to kara scannell in new york and i know carrie, you have some new reporting concerning the bond that trump paid in a separate case, the fraud case there. what have you learned? >> right this. is the fraud case involving the new york attorney general's office and trump posted the $175 million bond on monday night. now the new york attorney journals is

office is saying that they want more information and they want more information because the underwriter of that bond knight specialty is based in california and it's not regulated by new york. and so they want to ensure that this bond will actually can be backed and supported by the underwriter. now, the head of that company, don hanky told my colleague matt egan that trump had posted $175 million in cash as collateral, but the new york attorney general's office is saying because this company is not regulated here, they can't get a certificate ticket from the new york regulators, ensuring that they're financially sound so they want more information from the bond underwriter and from trump about what is backing this bond and they said that they want this within ten days, or else the bond is not valid. so again, putting more pressure on trump to come up with this. now i just spoke with a lawyer who does a lot of these bond deals and he told me that this is an appropriate step by the new york attorney general's office and the options that trump has is either getting pairing up with another company that is regulated in new york that is

allowed to do these types of bonds in new york. or getting a court to agree to this. so again, this will be more filings before judge arthur engoron, who is overseeing this case. but the ag's office now challenging this bond and challenging whether or not the company can support the bond, should they ultimately prevail after this appeal, rionda force kara scannell from new york. thank you so much. let's bring it in. see legal analyst and former federal prosecutor jennifer rodgers. jennifer, your reaction to this request in new york and letitia james, this move, this skepticism that she apparently has about the bond company and whether they can financially bactrim now we'll letitia james has been skeptical of trump all along. >> we've seen it >> and it looks like she's just trying to do what she can to ensure that if the attorney general's office is wind cpl, and the judgment stays as it is that they'll be able to collect. now, of course, the amount of the bond is much less

than the amount the judgment that judge engoron found was ill-gotten gains, so she's still will have to go after the trump organization and the other defendants in order to collect the balance of that money. but she wants to make sure that at least the first hundred and 75 million is easy to get so it seems appropriate to me and we'll see what steps need to be taken to ensure sure. that that money is there and available for the people of the state of new york >> and jen trump's lawyer, steve sadow, just reacted to the georgia ruling. he says the defense will continue to evaluate our options regarding the first amendment challenges and the court's ruling made clear the defendants were not foreclosed from again, raising the challenge, which indeed they were not what do you think about this? what other challenges could be in the works >> well, this first amendment challenge is one that team trump has made in every single case, the notion that because he was the president and because he's a presidential candidate and because he opens his mouth and words come out

everything that he says should be protected as something that they've been pressing in all the cases. and it's not really about the merits, brianna, i mean, there's no question that evidence can be used of speech that is made by defendants in the course of committing crimes. this to me is just more of a delay tactic. they're just trying to find ways that they can an appeal and delay these proceedings. so that's what this is all about i mean, you can't say if trump robbed a bank and walked in and said, i'm running for president. let me tell you about how great i am. and by the way, stuffs and bags full of money because i'm robbing this bank. >> there's no >> question that you can put that speech and even if it's intertwined with political beach, so the merits or a no go this is just all about pushing every avenue they possibly can to delay these things and possibly to get some of these arguments in front of the jury and some capacity, the prosecutor's job then will be to get a very strong instruction from the judge about what the limits of political speech are and how

criminal speech is not protected by the first amendment. >> if that was a legitimate defense that was accepted by courts, you have a lot more people running for president. jennifer, i'm wondering the first amendment issue that's also part of what's being considered by the us supreme court, right? how will that eventual decision potentially play into what's happening? here >> well, those supreme court is considering the presidential immunity argument that anything that the president, former president did while he was technically the president should give him immunity from criminal prosecution. so that i think is also a no-go, but we're waiting to hear on that but the way it would impact things is it would also completely demolish the georgia case because all of the actions that are charged in georgia, our actions from when he was technically still the president as he was trying to steal the 2020 election. so if the supreme court did rule that he is immune from things that he did while he was sitting in the

oval office as the president, then the georgia case would also have to be dismissed along with the federal election subversion case >> all right. jennifer rodgers. thank you so much for all of that insight. we appreciate it. >> and to head on cnn news central, we have much more on this call between president biden and israel's prime minister benjamin netanyahu. it wrapped up just moments ago and also we're waiting on a news briefing from the white house were expecting that to begin any moment we're going to bring that to you live when it happens to stay with if you work in spaceflight, this is the worst possible thing that can ever happen >> my dad died doing what he loved spatial columbia final flight, premieres sunday at nine on cnn >> nobody is born with grid roses but really, it's something you build over time johnson for 88 years

cip.com. >> be heard, be hopeful, bu i'm caitlin paul lands in washington and this is cnn >> we're focused on what's happening at the white house right now. we believe that the national security council spokesperson john kirby just took to the podium at the press briefing. we are monitoring during his remarks. fresh off of this call between president biden and prime minister netanyahu of israel, they wrapped up a tense phone call the first time they've spoken since this is really airstrike hit an aid convoy in gaza belonging to world central kitchen, killing seven aid workers and international group of eight two workers that were in gaza. biden has grown increasingly frustrated with the way that israel is conducting this war. of the white house says that he told netanyahu the humanitarian situation in gaza is unacceptable. let's listen in to admiral kirby and the overall humanitarian situation in gaza are unacceptable. >> you >> made clear the need for

israel to announce and to implement a series of specific concrete and measurable steps to address civilian harm humanitarian suffering and the safety of aid workers. >> he made clear >> that us policy with respect to gaza will be determined by our assessment of israel's immediate action on these steps. the underscore that an immediate ceasefire is essential to stabilize and improve the humanitarian situation and to protect innocent civilians. and he urged the prime minister to empower his negotiators to conclude a deal without delay, to bring the hostages home the two litres also discussed public iranian threats against israel and the israeli people. president biden made clear that the united states strongly supports israel in the face of that's all i have >> thanks first off on that last piece, 30 you said it from him several times that hamas we're getting from turkey started deal calling on israeli is to empower the degrees years

suggested that has changed as the us assessment of it's really willingness to reach a ceasefire deal change in the last several weeks no. >> it takes it takes active participation and negotiation of both sides here and that's what the president is urging. he certainly in the call with netanyahu urging that the prime minister empowered his team to the maximum extent possible to see if we can get this deal in place. and then just >> on the substance of the vilnius from the presence statement, there saying that he couldn't condition creatures good support for israel yet, it's operations in gaza on what israel does first off, what is at stake, what would be potentially cut off? from israel? briefs in this war if if he doesn't change course and second, what do you want specifically to see from israel were to do to protect civilians in humanity? >> i'm not going to preview any potential policy decisions coming forward what we want to see are some real changes on the israeli side and if we

don't see changes from their side, they'll have to be changes from our side, but i won't preview what that could look like now they talked about i'm sorry. is that just the body calendar? is there in terms of concrete steps, what we are looking to see and hope to see here in coming hours and days is a dramatic increase in humanitarian assistance getting in additional crossings opened up and a reduction in the violence again civilians and certainly aid workers. we want we want to see that even as the israelis worked through their investigation, that they are willing and able to take practical, immediate steps to protect aid workers on the ground and to demonstrate that they have that civilian harm mitigation in place. so again, those are broad brushes. i'll let the israeli speak to what they will or won't do here. but again, in coming hours and

days we will be looking for concrete, tangible steps that they're taking >> thanks, john. >> just to go back to >> that point, we in your readout, when you say the president made we're that the us that us policy respect to gaza will be determined by our assessment of israel's immediate action could you decode that for us? what exactly? is the warning that's being issued here? >> i think it's very clear in the language itself. nancy, we're going to the were looking for concrete steps to alleviate humanitarian suffering in gaza. >> again, >> i won't get ahead of what the israelis will or won't say are announced. we're looking for concrete steps to be announced here soon. and it's not just about the announcement of concrete steps and changes in their policies, but it's the execution of those announcements and those decisions and implementing them. and so we obviously will watch closely and monitor how they do on the commitments that

they make and as i said earlier, if there's no changes to their policy and their approaches, then there's going to have to be changes two hours. >> i think i think what the world wants to understand is, is the white house warning that it may remove military aid. what exactly is the >> threat here? >> i think i've stated it pretty clearly. i'm not going to i'm not going to as i said earlier, i'm not going to preview steps. i'm not going to preview decisions that haven't been met made yet, but there are things that need to be done. there are too many civilians being killed. the risk to aid workers is unacceptable. now we have certain aid organizations that are reconsidering whether they're even going to be able to continue operations gaza while famine looms. so there has to be tangible steps. let's see what they announced. let's see what they direct. let's see what they do. >> but i'm not going to get ahead of that. >> i'm going to try this one more time because the wrecking you live that's what we did. the president seems to have

said to the prime minister today, make these concrete changes or else it's he or else that i want to make clear. here is the president threatening to withhold aid to israel if they do not make these changes, the president made it clear that our policies with respect to gaza will be dependent upon our assessment of how well the israelis make changes and implement changes to make the situation in gaza better for the palestinian people. >> and how much time are you giving them to make these changes to implement these concrete? yeah. >> we we would hope to see some announcements of changes here and coming hours and days, and i'll leave it at that. >> that's sure. >> hours and days >> white today >> why today? what why today for the phone call, y why why this apparent shift in policy today. >> i think look president wallace but particularly the president, was certainly shaken

by the attack on the wck convoy and the aid workers as i said earlier it wasn't the only event there had been others like that humanitarian aid convoys coming under fire and losing people and and the president felt strongly that it was time to talk to prime minister netanyahu about his concerns >> you characterize this call is an ultimatum >> i would characterize this call is very direct very business-like very professional on both sides and the president laid out his significant concerns about the direction and where things are going and quite frankly laid out as clear in the readout that that we are willing to reconsider our own policy approaches here dependent upon what the israelis do or don't do? >> you just tell us who always on the call >> well, it was it was a bilateral call between the two liters prime minister netanyahu and the president. they were

the only two speakers on the vice president harris also dialed in mice. president harris did, did dieline? yes >> secretary of state dialed in jake sullivan yes, i don't know who was also listening in on the israeli side, but what the discussion was between the two liters >> admiral, you're not specifying what concrete steps israel must take. it >> i gave you some a broad sense of it. we want to see more crossings opened up. we want to see more trucks getting in, particularly from jordan we want to see tangible steps at the mitigation of civilian harm particularly to humanitarian aid workers. but obviously all civilians, but we want to see that they have they have moved forward on proper steps to d conflict with aid workers as they move around that the information flow is by language. we've heard for

>> weeks now, you're not talking about sort of telling how exactly you will measure those measurable steps >> right? >> what i said was we're going to we're going to examine our policy approaches based on our assessment of the way the israeli side modifies their behavior modifies their policy and decision-making processes and so first of all, let's see what they say. they're gonna do >> and then let's >> watch and see how they execute to what they say. and i don't want to get ahead of them on what they what they what they plan to say about the changes they're going to make. but we'll base our policy decisions based on an assessment of how they execute to their policy you're not talking about what potential us policy changes are on the table. can you say whether the president share that with the prime minister on this phone call, the president made clear

that that absent changes in the protection of civilians on the ground, absent changes to the volume of humanitarian assistance getting in, absent absent any movement on a ceasefire that will allow hostages to get out and more aid to get in absent a calming down that he will have to reconsider his own policy choices with respect to to gaza. >> and one of the seven aid workers was obviously a dual american citizen to the prime minister off for the president and apology >> i let the prime minister proceed to his side of the conversation the i would note that the israeli defense forces their southern command commander has made a public apology for the strike. >> and there was no mention of rafah in this readout. can you talk to us about cow if that did come up and how that might have been discussed in this conversation was was focused

primarily on the need to get a temporary ceasefire in place. the need for there to be a pause and the fighting till we can get the hostages out. humanitarian assistance the need to see that steps are being taken to learn from this strike and to make changes in the way civilian harm is mitigated from an operational perspective. and they did spend time as the readout makes clear, talking about the very public threats from iran to israel and the president, as i said, made very clear to the prime minister that the united states support for israel's ability to defend itself from a range of threats, not just hamas remains ironclad good day >> thank screen. thanks. just a couple of things. firstly, how long did this call lost as well? >> 30 minutes or so. >> i'm just going back to jeff's question about why why this sort of changed jim tone said be growing frustration on the part of president biden previous messaging to prime minister netanyahu just

doesn't seem to have gotten through yes, there has been growing frustration >> thank you so much, corinne. john, one question on israel and another ovn as what we saw in the past. president biden pushing it and you have to protect civilians. but how much words really matter here when on actions the same day of the attack on the humanitarian words they went as well as approving more bone tile. we are now six months into the war. how much they actions are actually encouraging israel to not do enough protect >> yeah, i'm, i'm kinda glad the question came up because i would tell you when i've seen press reporting, you know, about the about the arms sales and that kind of thing. and i would just remind you that that it would. >> the, >> exception of the immediate two months after the attack, we haven't really sent emergency aid and military assistance to israel. it wasn't the first

couple of months, >> but what you're seeing here is the result of a process of foreign military sales to israel that takes years and a lot of this material that's been reported publicly was notified to congress many, many months, if not years ago, and are in the train to get to israel. i think it's important to remember as i tried to mention in the last answer that israel still has a lot of threats at faces. i mean, we're all focused on hamas and i understand that, but they still face active threats throughout the region, including from iran and the united states still has an ironclad commitment to help israel with itself defense. and so a lot of these articles, including the 2000 pound bombs and the f35. so that's, those are things that have been long in the train and not tied the sale that foreign military sales process was not tied to this conflict >> good. can i have one more one on venezuela? because yesterday, nicholas doesn't are you were listening next be more

creative, quite consequential. white house press briefing with national security council spokesman john kirby. there. and he is saying, now, if this is a warning and there is some vagueness to the warning, and yet we keep hearing it over and over. we heard it from senator. we heard it from secretary blinken. we got it from the readout. we getting we're getting it from kirby here at the briefing. they mean business here at least certainly in the communication of this and we'll have to see how netanyahu responds to it. but he's saying if there are not changes from the israeli side, then there will have to be changes from america's side. and specifically, he's talking about more trucks of assistance into gaza, especially from jordan, opening more crossings into gaza, and a reduction in violence against civilians. and particularly aid workers. and what he was talking about, their was that they need to properly d conflict so that they're not strikes that are hitting aid workers when aid workers have been clear about

where they are going to deliver humanitarian assistance, significance there is properly deconflicted because that attack happened, as you know, and as we've reported in a deconflicted zone where there wasn't supposed to be violence of that sort no preview from kirby of what the administration might do if they don't see those concrete steps, you repeatedly referred to during the briefing, he said that they were anticipating announcements in the coming hours and days from israel, specifics on what they will do to take the steps that you outlined. he described the president is being shaken by the death of those seven world central kitchen aid workers. he also described biden as wanting immediate action toward a ceasefire negotiations toward at least a pause in the action have been ongoing. very heated discussion between all the players in the region over how to get those remaining hostages out of gaza? no mention though, in the readout and a very short

illusion to it from kirby of the looming incursion into rafah that has been the subject of heated debate between the two sides, something that has been a major focus of the biden administration trying to offer for israel alternatives, trying to pump the brakes on what is seen as potentially a looming catastrophe for those million and a half people that are in rafah. he also mentioned that the two leaders talked about iran and the threat that iran poses. in its promise of a retaliatory strike following with a us determine was in israeli strike in damascus in syria on the iranian consulate. a lot to get through. but essentially the promise that the us may revise its policy about gaza israel doesn't take concrete steps does that specifically mean military aid? he would not go that far. but what else really could it mean? what policies is he talking about here? let's bring in cn and white house correspondent priscilla alvarez along with cnn correspondent natasha bertrand who is live for us at the pentagon. it was really interesting to me, priscilla,

that he said they expect these announcements and pretty soon in the coming hours and days but they don't just want words. he said it's about implementation and so they want to hear specific promises and then they want to see that carried out. and then they're going to assess that. but we don't really have a timeline for that. we don't have an idea of how that process is going to play out. and we don't know if it is clear to netanyahu that this is a red line. >> we don't know the timeline. we also don't know what they're measuring it against because we have heard the biden administration say this multiple times there has to be more aid going into gaza. there has to be the protection of innocent civilians. >> and yet >> over and over, we continue to see this catastrophe continue to play out and unfold in gaza. but just to take a moment and to take a step back. this is a significant development we have been talking about the relationship between president biden and israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu for months, they were talking on a regular basis after the october 7 terrorist

attacks, repeatedly, president biden has said that he stands by israel and their right to defend themselves that is still the administration process, but now they are signaling that there could be changed on the horizon if they do not see changes from israel. and we just haven't heard that yet. they have mostly steadfastly said that they are going to stand by israel. and now that could change if as you both mentioned, and as kirby mentioned, no change equals essentially change on the us side. again, there are no measurables here, but what they do want to see is more land crossings opened up. this has been consistent with worthy administration has been they have repeatedly said that they just can't get the unnecessary into gaza without those land crossings that also resulted in the airdrops, for example and needs depend of course, on the humanitarian aid organizations and their husband concern that the aid organizations that i've talked to you of how they're supposed to continue to execute their mission. if they could be killed in the process was

exactly what we saw play out with those world central kitchen employees and the many that were killed before then. and then also in all of this is the mitigation of civilian harm, which is what admiral kirby was talking about. so essentially, the message today from this readout from the white house between president biden and israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu and secretary of state antony blinken is the us is examining their approach to israel. and that in and of itself is notable because up until this point that really wasn't up for question. now it is this is certainly served. it appears as an inflection point in the relationship between the us and israel. >> let's get the perspective from the pentagon now, with cnn's natasha bertrand and natasha toward the end of a question, there are kirby tried. to essentially defend us policy and arms sales to israel. he cited recent reports about this huge deal. four fighter jets, some $18 billion. also the sale of these 2000, 2000 pound bombs but he made

the argument that these aren't renewed developments, that these deals take years to plan and to play out and that congress is being, has been being notified about these now, for months obviously, he's anticipating criticism that the us is taking this hard posture against israel for their mistakes in gaza >> but >> as critics have pointed out consequentially, there's still arming israel correct. all of this is still adding to israel's arsenal, the very arsenal that is being used, of course, in gaza and is not they're not taking enough steps to protect civilians there as president biden has made very clear. and so while kirby is correct, of course, that many of these ongoing arms sales and transactions were approved but two years ago and they did go through congressional notification. the administration still has the ability to suspend approvals of those weapons transfers even after the fact. so we are

reporting that on monday, the administration approved a new transaction of over 2000 new bombs, two to israel, and those were previously notified to the hill about six, seven years ago. and therefore, they didn't require new congressional notification or new oversight really, even though israel is of course, in a very different position than it was over the last few years and is engaged in a war that the international community is saying that they are not conducting properly. and so the question so now i think is what is this going to look like this shift in policy because secretary austin here at the pentagon, he also had a call with the israeli defense minister at last night, and he also expressed his outrage and the need for israel to do more to protect civilians to d conflict with these aid organizations. but at the same time you've heard kirby say their and that press conference, that quote, are support for israel against a range of threats remains iron clad. and so how do you square that with a potential threat to start with holding military

assistance, which wasn't set explicitly, but of course, as briana noted earlier, that is really one of the biggest levers that the us has at this moment. and so it's going to be interesting to see whether we continue to see the fulfillment of these arms sales going back many years that the us has committed to, or if the us decides to suspend that. and of course with this massive 18 billion sale of f 15 fighter jets that the administration is set to approve the appending congress not blocking it. is that going to be also thought twice about because that is something that these really have explicitly asked for multiple times from the administration, including as recently as last week. so there are clearly things that israel wants at the us can choose not to provide them and use that as leverage. question is is president biden now prepared to start doing that? >> all right, natasha. thank you so much, priscilla alvarez. thank you so much to you. and it's just so i mean, he was so clear to make that distinction, john kirby was about the

to us about, talk to us about the burning behind this wire eclipse is so important to our understanding of the universe. >> well, if we learned nothing else, we just got a glimpse of boris on the weekends with us and sunglasses. you got it >> but this is a fascinating period for astronomers physicists and people who study them mysteries of the universe. did you know that albert einstein's theory of relativity was proven during an eclipse when, because of the dim sun, scientists could look at stars and see, yeah, the, the galaxy does bend. it seems to time and space is like a bowling ball on a trampoline and shifts are perspective a celestial bodies right now these days though the biggest mystery is why the corona of the sun that is the outer atmosphere, millions of degrees hotter than the center of the sun. how it behaves. and because it's lighter when the sun is your face, you can't studied as well. but during the eclipse they can really focus in on it. and so they are spent

nasa that as the day nasa is sending these special airplanes that three of them, and they can fly way high, 60,000 feet and stay in totality for six hours, literally fly under the that's from mexico to main measuring the corona and various instruments either looking at the light and so that affects how we understand the universe. but there are so many other experiments going on to understand how the sun affects life on earth that is so fascinating, i didn't know that about the theory of relativity and how it was proven during an eclipse. i mean, we all know the many mind expanding in history altering things that came from the theory of relativity, relativity. einstein's work, namely the atomic i'm a mom for example, what are the implications of what we might be able to learn with something like this >> well, there's a whole, another nasa experiment that's really focused on the ionise and that is the layer of the

sky between 5,300 miles up at separates us from the vacuum of space and that is full. it's like a sea of particles that become charged as the sun comes up. and as the sun sets around the world, here's an animation you just saw that of those waves going around. and so what they're gonna do is fire these rockets up 45 minutes before, during and after. and these, these rockets are called sounding rockets. they'll send out instruments to measure the changes in the ionosphere as that dark patch moves across the continental us. and the ionosphere can interfere with on-ground communications. terrestrial radio signals, satellite communications that we're becoming increasingly dependent on. you saw there that the sea that wave go around as a sun rises and sets around us so that has practical implications of our interconnected world was so dependent on gps weather satellites are financial systems are tied to space instruments as well. all affected the power of the sun. interesting enough, every 11 years the sun cycles between

sort of weaker activity and stronger, we are at what's called solar maximum this year. so the surface of the sun is going off and they're really excited to see what that means for the ionosphere and the corona >> solar maximum, i feel like solar maximum wearing these sunglasses to do >> that's your new professional canceling anything? >> you got it. wwe. do you know how >> bill do you know what mine is >> what's that >> brij clips >> we'll >> play or eclipse >> i can't see your man, but i bet you look great >> it's better. trust all right bill. >> you're. the best and we can't wait to talk to you on monday. everyone makes sure that you join us for eclipse across america or special live coverage will be starting monday at one eastern right here on cnn. we scheduled this eclipse during our show so that we could get too angry at which was premium for us, right? you can tream it on max and

written here in hollywood, but this brazen theft is real. i'm told by law enforcement source has happened on sunday night. this was easter sunday, and authorities and the company didn't actually determine this had happened until the next day on monday. now i'm told that this group, amount made their way hey, into this facility without setting off any alarms there at the building, making their way into the vault. as you mentioned, a large hall. there are upwards of 30 million that were actually taken. now, i'm told from a source that law enforcement right now, one key focus of the investigation is whether this group had some type of inside knowledge of this facility because again, they didn't set off any of the trip wires that are in place. this was a type of business that process is cash for other businesses does counting and sorting and the like told that the company in question is private security firm garda world. we've reached out to them for comment on this ongoing incident, but certainly something that they're taking very seriously. a large hall, a cash they're 30 million dollars. briana, do they have any idea who they are looking

for? have you gotten an indication of that >> not as of yet. authorities are just launching this investigation. this is the fbi. this is the lapd and told that they are not only conducting interviews, but they're trying to gather cctv footage from around that area, trying to determine the root of travel full of these burglars, both to the facility and then as they went away and again, they're just trying to figure out first who this group is before they can then tried to determine where they are. we have seen in past highs, for example, back in 1997 here in los angeles, there was a group that did an armored car robbery. they stole almost $20 a couple of years went by without authority he's having an indication of who they were. it was a slip up on the part of one of those burglars. so actually tried to buy a house using cash that was still wrapped in the same original cash band, a realtor looked at that and said, well, this is suspicious and call police that ultimately led to that man being arrested. he gave up the other group, but that was years before that happens. so a lot of work that's happening right now i've tried to locate these individuals. finally, i'm told from a law enforcement source

that the possibilities here are why this could be a cartel. this could be professional burglars. again, this could be just a group that may have had some type of insight information about how that building actually worked everything on the table right now, briana all right. >> josh campbell live for us from la. thank you for the latest there. boris >> so number one series right now on netflix has its own true story of intrigue and death behind it. three problem is about a killing spree targeting scientists and it debut last one took place a day before a former executive tide of the series was sentenced to death for murder in shanghai. the victim, lin qi, a 39-year-old billionaire who helped bring three body problem two tv. he was poisoned months after netflix announced it greenlit the project let's get the latest from cnn entertainment correspondent elizabeth wagmeister. elizabeth, this is a wild story >> this really is a wild story, boris, it's unbelievably sad,

but it's truly unbelievable that this happened in real life. so let me take you through what happened here. lynch, she who was a gaming tycoon. he was dubbed the billionaire millennial in china. he was obsessed with three body problem. he was a huge fan of this book series. this is one of the biggest books to come out of china. it's a sci-fi trilogy he and dreams of turning this into a major franchise. he wanted to bring it to movie, tv, to gaming. so he was eventually able to secure the rights with the help of one of his business associates, shubi. now, there was a falling out which the shanghai court has said was a dispute over well company management matters. and he plotted boris to poison him, he ended up setting up a lab in the suburbs. he tested over 100 different toxins and gifted him

what he called a bottle of probiotics, which was actually lethal toxins, ten days later, he died after checking himself into the hospital and now he has been sentenced to death. now, lin qi, he spoke about his legacy. he said that he thought that three body problem and really bringing this to life and making this a huge series could be his legacy. and he said, quote that when he said goodbye to the world, when i'm 90 years old quote, it is said that when your mind will be hit by a moment of extreme clarity, when you are about to die. so i'm very afraid that what all be thinking before i die is how did i destroy the three body problem? that is what he said in an interview just one month before this netflix series came out. so you can see just how important this was. to him that he hoped it was his legacy, but he was also scared that he might ruin this, be book series >> it is why this has the makings of like a true crime documentary, right? what is

netflix saying about this? >> it really does. and of course, we don't want to take away from how tragic this story is. a life was lost. he was murdered, he was poisoned to death, but it does feel like you could create a series out of this, right bars. now, i have reached out to netflix about this entire court case and they have no comment on on this, but this series is a massive phenomenon right now. it is number one on netflix in the now, netflix is not available in china but this series in its first week, it shot up to number one and 93 countries and it has caused the book series also to shoot up to the best sellers list this is a series that comes from the co-creators of game of thrones. is reportedly netflix's most expensive series for a first season. and the creators have said that they hope to do another season as well. >> elizabeth wagmeister, really an eye-opening story. thanks so much for bringing it to us >> coming up
