hi, everyone. i'm zinhle essamuah. >> and i'm kate snow. "nbc news daily" starts right now.

today, monday, april 22nd, 204. trump on trial. opening statements begin in the former president's hush-money trial. where the trial goes from here. chaos on campus, columbia holds classes virtually today as dozens of students al yale are arrested for protesting. the growing concerns for safety of jewish students as pro-palestinian protests spread to colleges nationwide. tiktok ban? the status of the app is up in the air. and celebrating earth day, we're digging into the small changes you can make today that could have a big impact on the planet. >> i'm listening. >> i know it already. i'm not sure, i don't know if i'm ready. >> it's a little controversial. stick around for that one.

we'll start this hour though with day five of the first criminal trial of former president donald trump. >> today we heard opening statements and the first testimony from a witness called by the prosecutors. alleging that mr. trump coordinated a hush-money scheme to prevent a damaging story about an alleged affair with an adult film star from becoming public and lying on business records. >> trump's attorney rebutted all that. explained these checks trump wrote to his michael cohen were for legitimate legal services. trump said this trial is keeping him off the campaign trail. >> this is done as election interference. everybody knows it. i'm here instead of being able in pennsylvania, in georgia, lots of other places campaigning. and i's very unfair. >> leading us off is hallie

jackson and legal analyst charles coleman. clearly a big day, opening statements, the first testimony, what are your big takeaway and couple of things here the prosecution, because they really went after the central claim of this case. we all shorthanded the hush-money trial. the prosecution's trying to say no, this is actually -- they're using a phrase that mr. trump likes this this is illegal election fraud, they're coopting that phrase in a different context trump uses it. they're trying to make the case this is broader election interference if you will, now the defense did a couple of interesting things n some ways what you heard from donald trump's defense team is what we hear from donald trump on the campus trial, attacking some of

the people central to this, michael cohen and stormy daniels, sure we acknowledge he's larger than life, former president, he's a guy, a father, a husband, the defense team trying to establish that rapport with the jury. >> charles from a legal perspective, you heard the opening statements how would you assess both of them. >> i expect the prosecution to do what they did, to keep it tight, to stick what they wanted to prove and try and lay out the case they were going to present to the jury, from the defense i knew it was going to be a little bit fluid, you have to understand you can't predict how the prosecution is going to put their evidence in you have to be mallable in terms of what you're presenting to the jury. what i was watching for was what is the defense going to do in terms of narrative they want to present to the jury. they tried to hume mannize

donald trump. i think also one of the things that i thought was very interesting how they put their opening statement together when you can't make your client you have to try and dismantle the prosecution's case. the jury is going to be drawn into that and when you have preemted by that saying that doesn't matter, trying to give yourself a leg to stand on. >> this is all happening in the context of the election. hallie, a new nbc news poll showing the gap between trump and biden tightening. two-point gap now versus a five-point difference. what impact will those numbers have? >> well, what's interesting about that poll, it was in field right at the very beginning of

when the trial was starting for jury selection. what it does show, if you dig deeper there in many ways the democratic base is coming back home to joe biden here ahead of the general election. what do the legal issues not mean in a primary but in a general election, i wish i had a crystal ball, we won't know until there's verdict in and we get more polling. 50% of people believe that donald trump is being treated like any other criminal defendant. his campaign say they'll have him meet with the former prime minister of japan. they're right to get him out campaigning and being a defendant. >> great to have you both on set. see more analysis of the trial of former president trump with hallie on her show, that streams

at 5:00 p.m. eastern right here on nbc news now. today classes at columbia university are virtual after days of pro-palestinian protests at the new york city campus the university's president said the move is needed to quote de-escalate the ran kor. >> concerned about students' safety with passover happening tonight. the police department said there are no credible threats to the community. today dozens of students were arrested during a protest at yale university, unc, chapel hill, held protests over the weekend. >> rehema ellis joins us now. you spoke with two students on campus during the protests on saturday, what did they say? >> reporter: they expressed a lot of concern. one thing they said it's disturbing to them that the disagreements are not just about

ideas and the differences of how the situation in israel is being handled. but now it seems to some of these students that that difference is becoming student to student and not just students with ideas. take a listen. >> this mass mob of people screaming hamas, hamas, beloved. started following 20 jewish students off the campus. people came over to me and my roommate splashed water all over our faces. i was terrified. probably the most terrified i've been. >> reporter: you're hearing those words of being terrified. students on this campus are afraid. the president of the university has said they're going virtual to try to tone down some of the anxiety people are feeling right now. >> rehema, it's kate, what else is the nypd saying about the

ongoing protests about keeping the students safe there. >> reporter: police have a pretty strong and heavy presence out here, they cannot go on to the campus unless they're invited to do by university officials because that's private property, but they're demonstrating their presence in a very heavy way, they have on helmets, many officers have zip ties on their belts in the event that something were to happen, police are ready for it. kate. >> rehema el lits, thanks so much. the supreme court is weighing a high-stakes case that could change how cities nationwide deal with people experiencing homelessness. justices heard oral arguments today on the case stemming from the small oregon city grants pass, to ban sleeping or camping on public property. punishment is at the heart of the case. they argue these punishments go

too far and don't address the root cause of homelessness. yamiche alcindor. the eighth amendment to the constitution keeps coming up in this, cruel and unusual punishments. walk us through the major points made by both sides. >> reporter: the lawyers arguing for the homeless parties who sued grants pass, oregon, they said the city was criminalizing homelessness and these laws punish people for existing when they don't have other places to go to. on the opposite side, city officials through their legal counsel arguing the punishment for fines and short jail times isn't cruel and unusual punishment. it's to incentivise.

today conservative justices seemed to express doubt, a lawsuit under the 8th amendment under the constitution. justice brett kavanaugh, if you get arrested for camping outside you're not better off before you're arrested and three liberal justices appeared sympathetic. justice kagan said for a homeless person who has no place to go is like breathing in public. >> really interesting hearing from those justices. what comes next and when we can expect the court to make a ruling here? >> reporter: we can expect to get a ruling from court some time later this year, the number of cities prohibit camping on public property and local officials in several cities including los angeles, san francisco and even phoenix all of them wrote to the supreme

court in support of grants pass, oregon, lot of cities watching this, by the biden administration interestingly has mostly backed the challengers say laws that bar sleeping on publicly property are unlawful, if not provided with available shelter in the providing jurisdiction. >> thank you. coming up, caught on camera the dramatic moments when some good samaritans jumped into action you see it there to save a driver from a burning car. plus, how and why an exhibit is trying to re-create the is trying to re-create the horrific music festival that was for people who feel limited by the unpredictability of generalized myasthenia gravis and who are anti-achr antibody positive, season to season, ultomiris is continuous symptom control, with improvement in activities of daily living. it is reduced muscle weakness. and ultomiris is the only long-acting gmg treatment

gives tiktok's parent company bytedance based in beijing a chinese company, it gives them nine months to divest, to celtic tok, this would be banned across the united states. that time frame could be expanded up to a year if he or she chooses to do that. this means tiktok won't be banned before the election. significant implications. they can continue to use the platform to reach the millions of people on the platform. president biden himself is on the app even though he supports the bill if it's not divested. >> when republicans were unhappy about this spending in aid, they're still threatening to oust house speaker mike johnson, is his job in jeopardy?
