loved one have mesothelial mac will send you you're in the cnn newsroom. i'm alex marquardt here in washington. thank you so much for joining us today. >> we begin with president joe biden urging the senate two quickly send a foreign aid package to his desk so that he can sign it into law. senators are expected to take up this series of bills this tuesday. it was just past moments ago by house lawmakers & a special saturday session. >> there'll be combined and they include $95 billion in military aid for ukraine, israel, and for hi won as well as billions and humanitarian aid. >> president biden says the house has passage of the bill sends a clear message about the power of america's cities. a leadership, excuse me, in the world. cnn's priscilla alvarez is here with me here in washington. so what else are we hearing from the white house? >> well, they're applauding
3:02 pm
this move, one that they have been waiting for for monday that's to remind viewers this was an at the white house made last october. so this has been wrangling that has been ongoing for some time now. so as soon as this past, the white house applauding it and the president saying in a statement, today, members of both parties and the house voted to advance our national security interests and send a clear message about the power of american leader their ship on the world stage at this critical inflection point, they came together, together to answer history's call passing urgently needed national security legislation that i have fought for months to secure. he goes on to say that he urges senate to quickly send this package drew my desk so that i can sign it into law and we can quickly send weapons and equipment to ukraine to meet their urgent battlefield needs. of course, alex, the president, has been banging on this drum again for a while now, especially framing it as a national security priority and talking about this last october when they made that supplemental request, he addressed the nation and he told america, this isn't just about a conflict abroad and
3:03 pm
helping an ally, but rather this affects us national security pretty and making the point that they should not see any ground to russia. and so the president and us officials have been saying the stakes are high. we saw that sort of elevated this week in particular with cia director burns saying that ukraine could lose the war by the end of the year if they did not get that funding. and then separately from the president who said in a wall street journal op-ed before this vote that it was a pivotal moment. so clearly, a lot of applause for the house lawmakers coming to do this, but we should also know that in talking about the stakes of this, us officials were also over the course of all of these months making the connection to battlefield losses in ukraine and pointing directly to republicans and saying that there are stalling the aid package is what led to some of those battlefield losses. so of course this is a moment that packages all of this together and just speaks to the urgency that the president and the white house has been talking about for some time. >> this is why volodymyr zelenskyy, the president of ukraine, has been lobbying not
3:04 pm
just the administration, but lawmakers as well. we've heard thanks today. hey, from presidents zelenskyy. he tweeted that this will keep history on the right track. but to your point, this has been this delay has been attributed to a rather it has led to some are saying ukrainian losses and russian gains on the battlefield. >> indeed the ukrainian president it's tweet, came only minutes after the vote, which goes to show how closely ukraine was watching this and how much of a lobbying effort it was. i mean, the president had spoken with a ukrainian president zelenskyy in february. he had also met with the vice president, vice president kamala harris. so this has been an ongoing effort and a difficult one, a strenuous one as there was continuing to be pushed on the hill. in fact, zelenskyy also spoke with house speaker mike johnson, so he was appealing across the administration with lawmakers and clearly watching the vote very, very closely today. but i want to note alex, that in this statement, the president talks about the power of american leadership, and that is really been central to
3:05 pm
all of this is the us trying to reaffirm his leadership on the world stage. and the president making the 0.2 world leaders in multiple conversations that he had over the last several months, the us would stand by ukraine. that was a difficult argument to make when this aid couldn't get through congress. now it has. so this is also just a really key part of all of this moving forward. >> yeah, i've spoken to a number of ukrainian officials in the past a few months have been very worried that this wouldn't get through. this will be not just a huge material boost, but a real booser psychological support as well for those ukrainian soldiers out there facing the russians for solvers. thank you very much for all your reporting we have our jury, those were the words of new york judge juan mark sean this week during the hush money trial of donald trump, this is the first time in history that a former us president is facing a criminal trial with opening statements due to start on monday trump, this weekend is campaigning. today's specifically in north carolina this comes after a dramatic final day of jury selection
3:06 pm
with all 12 jurors and six alternates sworn in by friday afternoon dreary consultant richard gabriel joins us now from los angeles. richard, thank you so much for joining me. this process seemed to move faster than expected. do you think that this jury is going to hold and in such an unusual high profile case, do you think that the six alternates are enough well, it remains to be seen. >> i mean, six alternates ordinarily for a six-week trial should be plenty but as we've seen in all these high-profile trials crazy things can happen, and depending what happens, even on monday, whether jurors come in and go, this is too much pressure. i didn't realize this was going to be so extensive they could replace jurors even next week. so i think the judge is hoping that'll be enough. it should be enough the thing about this jury is that there's a lot of high profile people on the jury, there's lawyers, there's engineers, there's financial people who i think do feel a little bit comfortable
3:07 pm
probably won't feel as intimidated. i think this is a pretty solid jury. the judge in this case is absolutely going to try to keep this jury and protect them the best you can. >> but there's no question that this is going to be very intense, richard, for those jurors and the alternates as well, just yesterday, we saw that two potential jurors were excused they told the judge that the trial was too stressful. one even began crying in the courtroom. so how difficult is this going to be for the jury? how higher the stakes for these 12? well, 18 individuals with the alternates well, the stakes are much higher for mr. trump, but they are there's a tremendous amount of pressure on these jurors. >> they are not only have to face the scrutiny, obviously, their family and some friends probably know they're gonna be on the jury and so there's that social pressure that creates that. also there's internal pressure to try to understand. okay. i've got my opinions. i've got my beliefs, but i've got to somehow set those aside and only focus on the facts and
3:08 pm
the evidence of the case there is the potential for some of the jurors to be threatened. there has been some overtures about that. so there's that concern there. so there's a lot that is riding on this jury, lot of pressure, but hopefully they will rise to the task yeah. >> i mean, their safety is obviously a huge concern. we have some identifying details as you say, things can leak out through family and friends who've know that there on this on this jury how confident are you that the judge can keep this under control i think he's going to do a good job. >> he's already asserted a very strong hand here. he's admonished the press. he's going to admonish the parties there. he's going to do whatever he can to keep this jury safe and i think as the public, we should also make sure that we don't 2nd guest, then we let them do their jobs. that's one of the beauties of the jury system. 12, diverse individuals from different walks of life, all getting
3:09 pm
together to make this really important decision. i think we have to honor that and let them work do you think that a judge more sean will will ultimately decide to sequester the jury it could happen. >> i mean, there's a lot of steps that is going to happen before that. it's obviously a huge cost for six weeks to sequester the jury. there's also personal hardships on jurors who have childcare and stuff like that. we get he's jurors even with sequestration. but ultimately, if he feels that he cannot protect these jurors in their own homes and they're being individually threatened. he may take that step. >> you noted. >> the high profile of some of these jurors, 18 of them, the 12 plus the six will be meeting as a group for the first time on monday. >> they're highly educated, many of them, there are two lawyers to engineers, many with a master's degree. what do you think that means for the defendant, former president trump? >> well, i think both sides are going to count on them. i think
3:10 pm
obviously the prosecution is counting on them to really make the direct connections the lawyers to be able to say we have to follow the law on this. if the evidence does meet the law, then is hoping to help educate some of the other jurors about how to make those connections to actually obtain a conviction in this fairly unique legal theory here, i think obviously the defense is looking at these people to really scrutinize them, hold them up to a very high burden to really prove their case because it is beyond a reasonable doubt. and if they can't prove intent, which is something that is going to be a key element here. the intent to defraud the voters, then i think the defense is hoping that either juror number two, who's a truth social follower, some of the financial people will just kind of look at this conduct and go, this may be transactional. i'm not sure it rises to the level of a felony, so i think both sides are trying to count on these folks to carry a lot of water there for them. >> and just as a reminder, these aren't just new yorkers, these are all manhattan nights there, all just from the
3:11 pm
manhattan borough. and when you look at the different characteristics that we know about these jurors do you have any guesses about what the group dynamics is going to be well it's so super interesting because normally you pick, are picking one or two opinion leaders, people who are going to really drive the jury in one direction or another. >> but you've got a lot of pretty high profile individuals on this group. we've got really experience greens financial people also, probably at the top, of their profession, you've got the lawyers, you've got the engineers here. so there's a lot of people in the personality dynamics is going to be important because obviously the prostitution needs a consensus jury. >> they need everybody to work together to get along, to not have any a lot of dissent here to come to a verdict. >> obviously he donald trump wants to find at least just that one juror is going across their arms dig their heels in and say, i just don't see it. i don't think the prosecution has met their burden of proof here, and i'm not going to
3:12 pm
convict. so that dynamic that personality interaction, he's going to be very interesting to see how this jury gels or doesn't all right, very big week ahead for the former president for these 12 jurors for the six alternates and really for the country, it's the first time richard gabriel. >> thank you so much for your insights in your time this evening thank you. >> we'll be having special coverage from the start of opening statements on monday with a live stream starting at 9:00 a.m. on cnn, as well as on macs on cnn or cnn on max session. say we have new reporting tonight that the state department is close to announcing sanctions for a group of idf soldiers accused of human rights abuses and the occupied west bank. this comes as israeli soldiers say that they've engaged terrorists at a refugee camp in the west bank will have the details ahead and the cnn newsroom it with a new

3:18 pm
israeli military claims that security three forces also apprehended eight wanted suspects. i wanted to discuss the latest developments in the middle east with alibis. he's the international crisis group's iran project director and one of the foremost experts on iran's nuclear and missile programs thank you so much for joining us. we've seen an incredibly dramatic week last weekend, of course, that massive strike against israel by iran. a couple of days later in the wee hours of friday morning in iran, we saw israel strike back, but in a very limited way in isfahan a city in central iran now that the dust is settling a little bit, what do you make of what you're hearing out of tehran from political leaders as well as irgc leaders in terms of what they may do in the coming days and weeks in response it's great to be with you, alex. >> look in any juror strategic rivalry, the most dangerous phase is when parties start
3:19 pm
rewriting the rules of the game this is precisely the phase that we're in right now. >> of course, israel across the line by targeting iran. iran is consulate in damascus on april 1st then iran across the line by targeting israel directly from its own territory and if indeed the attack that happened yesterday against iraqi militia is based in iraq was also conducted by israel. then israel's also entered into a new phase of targeting iranian allies in the region. so we might not be out of the woods yet. and there's plenty of space for miscalculation when you're in a face, like the one that we're in right now. >> and i know that he's not the most important player, but the iranian foreign minister did speak with cnn just hours before that israeli strike in isfahan saying in an blustering way that an iranian response would be maximum compared to the minimum response had given
3:20 pm
him the weekend prior that it would be immediate is that just bluster or how keen do you think iran is to actually lower the temperature look, i think iranians absolutely. >> i have no interest in an all-out confrontation with israel or the united states, which from a conventional military perspective, are much stronger than ron and could inflict much more harm on iran that the other way around but also, i think it's important for them to make sure that they do not signal weakness. the reason that iran mounted, but very calibrated the massive attack on israel, which resulted in no casualty, was precisely because it wanted to say it in an attack on its own soil would be a red line and it was worried that israel, after attacking its constant, which is akin to another country so it would feel that it can cross that line as well. >> so i don't believe that
3:21 pm
what the prime minister is saying is it's pure bluster because iran, again cannot protect its own soil as effectively as israel did but at the same time, iran doesn't want to necessarily trigger a bigger confrontation and that's a very difficult balance to strike. >> i think in this first round of tit-for-tat, the parties have managed to do it, but there's no guarantee that they would be able to do so. if these tensions continue. and at the end of the day, the proximate cause for all of these tensions is the war in gaza, which is ongoing and currently there is no light at the end of that tunnel for a long time for years, there has been this understanding, i think among analysts and intelligence and military experts that iran would seek to avoid confrontation, that they were all too happy to have others proxies that they support carry out these attacks, but they were not looking for direct confrontation with israel. >> to what extent what we've seen in the past week, weeks is that upending your
3:22 pm
understanding or making new question your understanding of how iran supreme leader ayatollah khomeini and the irgc is willing to go about things and carry out direct confrontations like well, i think there are two elements here. one is that there's clearly a much more tolerance for risk within the iranian leadership than was the case in the past. and this is partly reflective of the fact that the center of iranian politics has shifted to the right we have now much more altro hardliners at the decision-making centers in iran. and there's not a lot of voices of restraint left in the system, and that's reflective of the fact that iran is the only country in the world when the course of the past four months has targeted to nuclear weapons states, israel and pakistan but it's also reflective of the fact that iran's regional deterrence is network of partners and proxies in the region clearly did not stop israel from going after a senior iranian officials in
3:23 pm
syria from targeting iranian diplomatic facilities and that's why the iranians, i think adopted a different approach. >> ali, before i let you go, do you think that these sanctions that the us the uk, and eu rolled out this week are going to have any real impact look, alex, we're now basically still implementing the previous administrations, maximum pressure policy. and one of the side effects of pursuing a policy like that is that you basically maxed yourself out of leverage and i don't think there much more that could be done today. iranian economy that would have an impact on regional policies. so i'm, i'm i'm not holding my breath all right. >> i'll is really appreciate your thoughts in your perspective this evening. thank you great to be with you. as the death toll continues to climb in israel's war against hamas. so does global outrage most recently over the shocking images of dead people palestinian children, who were

3:31 pm
a new plan. but they they unexpectedly unraveled their “price lock” guarantee. which has made him, a bit... unruly. you called yourself the “un-carrier”. you sing about “price lock” on those commercials. “the price lock, the price lock...” so, if you could change the price, change the name! it's not a lock, i know a lock. so how can we undo the damage? we could all unsubscribe and switch to xfinity. their connection is unreal. and we could all un-experience this whole session. okay, that's uncalled for. everywhere i breaking up with bad bras how would really happen? >> sunday, april 28 and nine closed captioning brought to you by mesobook.com if you or a loved one have mesothelial mac will send you a free book to answer questions you may have call now and we'll come to you 808 to one 4,000 pro-palestinian protesters are gathering again today at new york's columbia university. >> you can see it right there. it's caps off a week of protests and the subsequent arrests of more than 100 people
3:32 pm
also follows an appearance by the university's president this week on capitol hill to listen trying to reconcile the free-speech rights of those who wanted to protest. and the rights of jewish students to be in an environment free of discrimination and harassment has been the central challenge on our campus and numerous others across the country. cnn's polo sandoval is in new york at columbia university. polo. understand that you were escorted onto the campus earlier. what's the scene? what have you been seeing? >> so there's an important distinction to be made here, alex, there's a peaceful demonstration that's taken place on campus, essentially a sit-in that i'll show you in just a few moments. but then there's this so very vocal group of individuals pro-palestinian folks who gathered literally at the gates of columbia university here in manhattan. the reason they cannot go any further than these gates is because the university officials here, but basically locked down,
3:33 pm
restricting access to only students and staff. in fact, normally, it'd be open to the public. you'd be able to walk through the campus are right now you need a student id to get in there so through the columbia school of journalism, working with school officials here, we were able to actually gain access, to university for a couple hours earlier today. and what you see there in the south here at this campus, it's basically a sit-in, what remains of that situation that played out just a couple of today's ago when the president of this university turn to the nypd calling on the agency to basically step in and remove some of these members of this protests, asked her, she called it a disturbance saying this was about safety. so what resulted was well over 100 individuals were detained by officers. many of them suspended after repeated threats from the university that they would take discipline well interaction, we caught up with barnard college university student that was actually participating in that demonstration she told me earlier today that she was suspended, was basically taken away and zip ties and then process for a trespassing
3:34 pm
charge. but she told me she do it all over again because she believes in what this movement represents i don't regret anything that i did i like this is probably the best moment of my life. >> i remember, like for the last so many years of my life, it's been like nobody knew it. palestine so you heard from that one 18 year-old and we hear time and time again, alex, the main message that continue to stress here is urging pressuring columbia university to divest funds away from israeli companies. so it really speaks to the broader picture here. but the other broader picture is really about universities i'll explain these are the kinds of scenes that have been playing out on campus throughout the country since october 7. some of course, more intense than others. so this certainly is a key moment for universities well as they grapple with how they will handle these kinds of demonstrations on campus. and the subsequent calendar demonstrations that we've also seen plan hello, there have been calls for amnesty for
3:35 pm
those who are arrested in some quarters. do you have any update on the people who are arrested young the young woman that you just heard from told me that the suspension is interim at this point, so she's waiting for monday to care about what will happen with the rest of her stuff that he's in terms of the potential criminal charge here we do understand that she does hope that this will not actually be prosecuted, though that's going to be yet to be seen. >> she did tell me that this was kind of a for trespassing charges, potentially facing all right. >> polo sandoval in new york at columbia university. thank you very much. during the days-long process of finding a jury for former president trump's historic criminal trial. dozens were excused because they said flat out, they couldn't be impartial cnn's senior national correspondent, miguel mark has asked new york new yorkers, could they be fair in the courtroom you know, donald trump for many years, what is what was your impression of him before he was president? an
3:36 pm
arrogant son but not a bad person with using, you could be in the courtroom and you could judge the evidence fairly. yeah. because i haven't delved into the details or him or anything. he doesn't really interest me that much. >> do you think you could be a fair and partial juror in the trump trial? >> no, that's a lie. >> because as i said before, i really hated his total catastrophes we are going from the top of manhattan to the very bottom of manhattan talking to manhattan knights potential jurors and whether they could be fair partial in the donalds on trial on the 34 counts that he is charged with, you could make a fair and impartial decision. >> if i listen to the facts and everything, yeah. >> i think i can i will i will i won't let him being a jerk cloud my legal sense this of fair play. >> i don't have any bias opinion. ball hing, i think people should be judged by what they've done before. well and
3:37 pm

name is more than just a name, there is a legal battle in the bay area in california over proposed renaming of an airport. >> commissioners in charge of oakland international airport just got approval to add ten the cisco bay in front of the airports name, oakland officials argue that it's hard to get people to fly into oakland because actually don't know that it's in the bay area but san francisco is suing with officials. they're claiming that the new name infringes on their own airports trademark san francisco international airport or sfo the final vote on the name change comes next month giving air traffic controllers more time to rest between shifts. that is one of the many recommendations by an expert panel following a string of near-collisions on runways across the united states the federal aviation administration announced this week that it will soon require controllers to have at least ten hours off between shifts and 12 hours off
3:44 pm
leading up to a midnight shift, joining me now, is cnn aviation analyst mary schiavo. she is a former inspector general of the department of transportation. mary, thank you so much for joining me. >> what will these new rest requirements do to improve safety well, it's an incremental change because before they were required to have eight hours off, but it just gives them the chance to get literally eight hours behind the door in the bed to rest. and of course, if you work the midnight shift, the overnight shift if which is a tough one on the controllers, then you have to have at least the 12 hours off because you have a better chance of getting really good rest with a little bit more time. so it's an improvement that was needed. but they're going to have to solve some other problems as well, which is the staffing shortage. the problem with some of the scheduling and open we're time that they're encountering. so this will help, but it doesn't solve all their problems. they have to deal with. >> those are always terrifying stories when you hear what air traffic controllers are going
3:45 pm
through this, this will probably be a welcome change for them. i want to shift gears a little bit. boeing was the topic of two hearings this week on capitol here in washington. we should note that no one one from the company was there to actually respond to these claims, but one whistleblower said the company is putting out defective airplanes. here's what he told nbc what would happen if you had a fatigue failure in a seven at seven at altitude, the plane will fall apart at the joints where they are we talking about once you fall apart, you're going to descend all the way to the ground mary also have to note that you are involved with litigation against boeing, but not connected to this case. to be clear boeing has previously pushed back against claims of airframe fatigue. what do you make of this? >> well, unfortunately whistle-blowers, right? and there were four wisdom it testified at this hearing and you would think that they're just could be nothing new under the sun to come out against
3:46 pm
boeing, but i have to say some of the testimony was quite shocking so boeing says, look, you're talking about a couple of pieces of paper as the difference in this, in this the gap that they're talking about, what were the whistleblower said is when you fit the pieces of the fuselage together, it's like fitting for tin cans together and they have to fit very closely and the pieces do not sit according to the specifications for the certification of the aircraft. and he said they were doing things like forcing them i'm jumping on them, et cetera and when they don't fit property that causes a lot of fatigue and eventually, when you fatigue and airframe, because every time you pressurize it, it's like blowing up a balloon. >> then you can have stress fractures, et cetera. >> and when that happens on the major pieces of fuselage unfortunately, that can be catastrophic failure of the plane would come apart obviously it would fall from the sky just as a whistleblower said, but boeing has said in other in other fora, not at
3:47 pm
this hearing, that is just a small gap& that they have taken measures to overcome that difficulty. the whistleblower say, no cabin and those measures are not good enough and having to jump up and down and pieces of an airplane to get them put together, does not meet faa standards, and i have to say the whistleblower's right, it doesn't. so that was one of the most shocking things that the hearing there were other things, but it was interesting hearing boeing of course, has been in the headlines a lot. and in recent years, they have faced a slew of problems. what do you think the public deserves in terms of transparency and answers at this point? >> you're exactly right. the public deserves transparency and answers and there's been you know, kind of a musical chairs go, it appears going on at boeing where they've changed key executives, they've changed key personnel. they have moved people from seattle to charles and north charleston trying to get things squared away. >> but people deserve transparency and that was the
3:48 pm
only thing disturbing thing at the hearing. >> and that was that even more things came out about what bo in new for example, before the 7307 max eight crashes, what they knew about problems with the 7307 max nine. now, that was the one where the door or blew off and alaska. and so what was really i think probably most damaging to boeing was not the hearing was held, but there's more startling revelations coming out at some point boiling just simply has to come thing with the faa end the fa bears some of the fault here as well. they are supposed to be overseeing all this. they should be out there at boeing inspecting and this year, the faa finally said they're going to increase hands-on inspections and the traveling public says, wait a minute, you mean you weren't doing that before and why are you announcing? this is something new. so not only does boeing have to be much more transparent and get all this bad news out there and address it when it dribbles out like
3:49 pm
this, it is just torture for boeing and the like we'll see if that happens. >> mary schiavo. thank you very much for your time this evening. appreciate it. >> thank you. >> we'll be right back tomorrow. >> story. nick paton welsh reports on the growing turf war between humans and elephants and sri he's big and pretty angry with deadly consequences for both sides there are these giants? >> basically, if species are they fighting for their own survival, fails bizarre to see this frontline mentality out here between where the elephants come from, a nice farming he feels the whole story with anderson cooper tomorrow at eight on cnn imagine a future where plastic is not wasted. but instead remade over and over into the things that keep our food fresher our families safer and our planet cleaner to help us
