2:03 am
official told cnn that 14 palestinian it's were killed in an israeli airstrike on a house among them, for women and seven children. israel's defense minister says, israel will also defend itself outside of gaza. you have golan says the idf will pursue hezbollah anywhere and everywhere, including in beirut and damascus let's comes after israeli airstrikes near aleppo killed dozens of people, including five hezbollah fighters cnn's melissa bell has more on the strikes in syria and in lebanon israel claims that it's managed to kill the one of the leading missile commanders in southern lebanon. missile commander of the hezbollah has been offered part, has admitted that one its members killed without specifying his rank from the point of view of israel, this is considered a win, but it also represents given the exchange of fire along the lebanese border booth at from lebanon into israel this friday, but also from israel into southern lebanon beyond,
2:04 am
since we're hearing from reuters that that is 17 dozen people who have been believed to have been killed over in syria. what we've been hearing from israeli officials and specifically from your i've gone onto the israeli defense minister. is that israel intensive? it's far more aggressively than it had before to pursue hezbollah, where it needs to, not just in southern lebanon, but beyond your have called on saying that it is time that israel strange changed its strategy. now what we understand from american officials is that, that had been made plain to them when he visited washington earlier this week, the united states extremely worried about what this may mean with husband are presented a formal, formidable foe they believe >> then does hamas, it comes this ratcheting up of tension, violence along israel's northern most border, as there is some hope. now for the hostage talks and their assumption we've heard from benjamin netanyahu that he is now going we sending a delegation of israeli officials back to qatar and egypt to
2:05 am
resume those indirect talks. and hope that the remaining more than 130 israeli hostages still in hamas is hands might be released. and of course with dutch that is six week ceasefire might yet be able to take melissa bell, cnn in jerusalem united states military says it dropped some 26 bundles of humanitarian aid into northern gaza on friday containing more than 46,000 >> meals ready to eat. the latest airdrop comes as the food shortage in gaza is growing increasingly dire, aid groups say the area could devolve into a full-blown famine within the next two months an ordinary gazans are feeling desperate. >> they're going to learn professionally annual. we hope to secure food today. we hope no one will stop us and that we will be able to get food with ease without having to crowd around the items if we can at least get a can of beans or hamas to support ourselves, we hope that we will eat today for most people, hunger has consumed them. they have no energy anymore the
2:06 am
international court of justice is ordering israel to take all necessary and effective measures to get basic services and humanitarian assistance >> to palestinians in gaza. joining me now is tania hary the executive director of gisha legal center for freedom of movement. it's an israeli ngo founded in 2005 with the goal of protecting the rights and freedoms of palestinians, particularly those in gaza. thank you so much for being here with us and so your ngo has joined with other for human rights organizations to petition israel's high court to allow more aid to gaza. so explain why you're taking this action and the legal basis for this yeah. >> thanks so much for having me. >> so you know, it's really >> officials keeps saying that they're not blocking aid to gaza when in effect, they are there are mounting obstacles both on the inspection process and also on the distribution of aid within gaza and really
2:07 am
since the beginning, since october 7 and after the really horrific attacks by hamas and others on israelis, aid has been used as a weapon of war. it's being used to pressure to punish the civilian population. and the most significant obstacle that we're seeing on the distribution of aid is lack of safety problems with what's called the deconfliction process. so that's allowing humanitarian convoys to travel through the strip safely. >> we're seeing a being systematically >> denied to the north of gaza, where some 300,000 people are now in the most catastrophic stages of hunger they might already be facing famine. >> so geisha is leading a coalition of >> organizations and israel >> and we're >> basically calling on israel's high court to order the israeli government, the prime minister, the defense minister, the army, to enable all excess of humanitarian aid
2:08 am
that includes equipment, that includes staff were calling on them even to open more crossings, land crossings between israel and gaza and to take on their responsibility as an occupying power >> so these accusations that israel isn't allowing enough aid in, as you say hey, they've been met by denials by the israeli government and they also say that the health information is inaccurate. that people aren't starving and second of all, that it's hamas that stealing all the food. any truth to either of those assertions by israel? >> yeah, i'm afraid not. if you look at the landscape right now, the world's foremost experts on the question in a famine have issued now to seminal reports on the situation all of the humanitarian organizations working on the ground, the eu and of course palestine gideon's themselves in gaza are telling us they don't have
2:09 am
enough food to eat. there's not enough medicine, medical equipment, staff in the hospitals, the health system is on the verge of collapse. actually, most of the hospitals aren't functioning. you only have about ten hospitals out of 36 partially functioning now, to meet the devastating claim or the devastating reality of famine, you're going to need a multi-sector response. it's not just about food, it's about water, it's about medical equipment. it's about staff, it's about providing medical services to children who are already suffering from severe mt well nutrition. >> so these claims >> that hamas is stealing the aid. look, of course, there are problems with people taking aid. that's a phenomenon that's known around the world. but what we're looking at is really a simple numbers issue. it's math, it's basic math what we've seen is that in the last six months, the amount of aid that has come in is barely
2:10 am
scratching the surface of what would come in and a normal month >> so >> really, these claims are not founded and it's really a simple math issue. there's just simply not enough to go around beyond the the government's denials of the problem. there are large-scale efforts from some journalists commentators, people online to deny that there's any feminine gaza in the first place, but broadly, is their support in israel itself for palestinians on this issue specifically, do they do they know the extent of the suffering in gaza? >> so that's a really great question. and one of the reasons why we filed this petition in the high court is because we think there needs to be more discussion inside of israel about what's happening. and i have to say frankly i'm not terribly optimistic about our chances of the court. i'm still hopeful that the justices will. we'll see the case for what it is and role in our favor. but i do think what's
2:11 am
important about this case is that it should spark more dialogue within israel about what's happening israelis are really living the horrors of october 7 over and over again. people are watching their own suffering night after night on the news. and unfortunately, we're not seeing enough images were not given enough information about what's happening in gaza. and i know that must be hard for people around the world to understand, but really we're really focused on our own situation as israelis. and so i think that that needs to change i think that even if it's really do see the suffering, of course they're told to tomas is fault. and from our perspective of course, hamas has a role to play in this the international community has a role to play. >> but is >> this really is it's important to us that we take responsibilities for the choices that israel has made in fighting this war, and for the red lines, we think it's already crossed and that it's
2:12 am
likely to cross if this continues i leave it on that point. tania hary. thank you so much for speaking with us. really appreciate it >> thank you for having me >> and cnn has gathered a list of vetted organizations that are on the ground responding to the humanitarian crisis in israel and gaza you can find details on how you can help a special section of our website, cnn.com slash the israeli military has acknowledged it, shot to palestinian menn in gaza, then buried their bodies with a bulldozer. the admission came after news outlet al jazeera published heavily edited video that says it shows the incident now you have to warn you. this video is disturbing. so here you can see one man walking along a beach. >> i'll jazeera >> reports that this man and another were waving what appeared to be white cloths at one point, the men raises his hands in the air and later he falls to the ground apparently, after being shot now the video then cuts to a scene where an israeli bulldozer is burying
2:13 am
two bodies in sand and debris. now it's not clear if these are the bodies of the two men shown earlier, al-jazeera says they are israeli military says the video shows two separate incidents so here's a statement quote, the first incident occurred in the southern part of the corridor after the suspect did not respond to a warning, shot, the force fired to his direction and he was shot and slightly wounded. now the idf says that men was released after receiving medical treatment and being questioned. regarding the second incident, the idf says, quote, two suspects with bags on their backs observed our forces and approached them in a suspicious manner. after not responding to a warning shot, the forces conducted live fire towards them as a result of which they were killed. the bottom and he is removed from the area using the documented tool out of fear of there being explosives on the suspects and risk to the forces now, cnn has asked al jazeera for an unedited copy of the video

2:15 am
to hush money payments. isn't a recent requests for clarification of the gag order in the case amounted to a request to expand the order for and asked to file legal briefs against it. it was put in place after trump made threats against the judge and his daughter. another sitting judge spoke to cnn's kaitlan collins about why that's so dangerous. >> you almost never hear from a sitting federal judge. i wonder what made you speak out tonight and speak publicly. >> but in a >> rare interview with cnn, senior us district judge reggie walton, who is deeply respected and washington's legal circles spoke out against donald trump's latest attacks on social media against a fellow member of the judiciary. >> i think it's important that as judges, we speak out and say things in reference to things that conceivably are going to impact on the process. >> i have a trump-hating judge walton criticized trump for his latest attacks on justice. won were shawn, who is overseeing
2:16 am
the former president's criminal trial relating to hush money payments. >> it's very disconcerting to have someone making comments about a judge and it's particularly problematic when those comments our in the form of a threat especially if they're directed at one's family after marsha and imposed a gag order limiting the former president from making statements about potential witnesses, jurors, attorneys, and court staff, but not him. trump has been attacking his daughter on social media, including by name >> we do these jobs because we're committed to the rule of law and we believe in the rule of law and the rule of law can only function effectively. when we have judges who are prepared to carry out their duties without the threat of potential physical harm. >> judge walton was appointed by both bush presidents and has spent more than 40 years on the bench. >> but he noted it's an increase in threats once he began here in cases of january 6, criminal defendants have received the greater number of
2:17 am
threats as a result of that incident, this is a new phenomenon, not saying that it didn't happen before, but it was very rare that i would ever receive any type of a threat regardless of what type of cases i was handling and unfortunately, that is no longer the case >> walton pointing to past murders of his judicial colleagues, family members, including new the jersey judge ester solace is signed and former chicago judge joan left coase, husband and mother. >> unfortunately, it's a reality that it's not inconceivable that something could happen. it's the reality that we live with, but you try not to let it impact on your day-to-day life >> but even in the midst of these threats walton says the law must endure even though threats may be made against you and against your family, you still have an obligation to ensure that >> everybody who comes into your courtroom is treated fairly, regardless of who they are or what they've done i think it's important in order to preserve our democracy that
2:18 am
we maintain the rule of law and the rule, the rule of law can only be maintained if we have independent judicial officers who are able to do their job and ensure that the laws are in fact enforced. and that the laws are applied equally to everybody who appears in our courthouse and that rare appearance from judge walton has sent shockwaves far beyond washington you've gotten reaction from former federal judges, including a former federal appeals court judge, judge michael luttig, and others who had been taking what he had to say seriously. his warning that trump's actions and his attacks on people like judge merchan's daughter that they can lead to tyranny is through his point of view, is a judge. someone who has been on the bench for decades. now as any member of a party or supporting a campaign, and that's why he's been resonating so much politics makes strange bedfellows. and here is a case in point, the biden campaign is making a bid
2:19 am
for supporters of former republican presidential candidate nikki haley. team biden said friday that its policing a forceful new ad aimed directly at gop voters who supported haley in the primaries have a look >> mickey haley has made an unholy alliance with rhinos, never trumpers americans for no prosperity. >> it brings nikki haley voters back in. >> i'm not sure we need to manage >> campaign says the seven figure ad buy will run on digital platforms and battleground states and use republican primary data to target mostly suburban areas where haley performed well against trump all right. after the break, we'll have the latest from baltimore where huge cranes are being positioned to untangle that collapsed bridge. and the cargo ship that crashed into it plus, they don't need any more rain in southern california bots. a big storm system moving in one has other ideas big rain, wind, and snow in the west. but look

2:25 am
the federal government has already said it's giving the state $60 million as a down payment for a cleanup work and rebuilding. but some republicans are concerned about washington's role in footing the bill, like congressman dan moos of pennsylvania it was kind of outrageous immediately for biden to express in this tragedy the idea that he's >> going to use federal funds to pay for the entirety cnn's danny freeman has more >> the massive task of untangling the francis scott key bridge from the dali container ship is set to begin. the largest crane on the east coast has arrived ready and waiting just up the side of the wreckage. the hope is this crane can help move thousands of tons of debris. so recovery efforts can continue and ships can eventually move through again, but go out there and see it up close. you realize just how daunting a task this is you. realize how difficult the work is ahead of us.

2:53 am
>> is the number one seed. they've got a tough match, match up against colorado, a big strong team could be, could be a challenge for iowa. i was got to get one. clark has been of course, we would presume play well the supporting cast, her teammates have to step up from what they did the other day. and right before that game, so caitlin clark, obviously, the big main the star of the basketball season, men's or women's this year. but right before that game, lsu, the defending national champion will be playing against ucla. so you've got the he's to blockbuster gains back-to-back lsu against ucla. and as soon as that ends, and iowa and colorado. and if in fact, iowa and lsu were to win those two games, then they would play each other monday night. so it would be a rematch of the national championship last year. but it wouldn't even make it to the final four. it would only be in the elite
