11:00 am
comfortable in day-to-day life
11:01 am
>> this is >> cnn breaking >> news good morning made, this sunday and have recovered and we begin with this breaking news moments ago in russia, the >> last polls closed following a three-day presidential election. with no genuine opposition candidates appearing on the ballot. the outcome was never in doubt. vladimir putin is expected to win the vote that will keep his grip on power through 2030. he has already, as russia's longest-serving ruler since soviet dictator joseph stalin, we've got full coverage for you. cnn's matthew chance is in moscow and fred pleitgen is in berlin. matthew, you first despite the lack of opposition, there were there any acts of defiance today >> we're yet to happen. in fact, of the course of the past three days when voting has been taking place has been a surprisingly high level of acts of defiance, disruption at polling stations, and things like that. you've got to remember, russia is a country where public displays of dissent and criticism of the
11:02 am
kremlin can't have extremely serious consequences for individuals or groups. and so to see sort of public expressions like this out in the street during an election period is highly unusual. another flash of defiance in russia's presidential vote. the opposition called this midday against putin supporters gathering at polling stations across the country in a show of solidarity it's what alexey navalny, russia's late opposition leader, had urged before he suddenly don't well, the russian authorities say that anyone who attends an unauthorized protest will be dealt with severely, but you can see it's just after 12:00 here in moscow. and a lot of people have turned out at this one polling station to cast their ballots it's not a protest, but it isn't indication of just how many
11:03 am
people here are heeding alexey navalny's call why do you come now to cast your vote? >> because they come to an end. he wanted to see all these people >> come together and say each other in-person. >> why did, why sides come now at 12:00 >> know why? >> i think everyone to >> stay in this queue, know why three days russians have been voting in an election which president putin was always certain to win scattered accident disruption of exposed division in several polling stations, die was poured into ballot boxes to ruin paper votes already cast across russia and number of voting centers were hit with arson attacks but officials insist these deeply flawed
11:04 am
presidential elections in which the opposition wasn't even allowed to stand we're free and fair >> in your logo. >> in compared to the last presidential vote in 2018, received one half as many complaints. washes, chief human rights commissioner tells state television, we his leg. >> i don't remember such active it's deeply monitored elections here but the defiance of some russians has also been exceptional simmering discontent in the kremlin's tightly controlled russia roughly boiling up to the surface >> well, >> fred, none of that defiance though, is likely to have much of an impact on the final result. as you said, the voting is like come to an end to across russia it is turnout
11:05 am
figures suggest it's well over 73%, which would be extremely high in the central election commission, are expected to give their preliminary results and it's a bit of a cliffhanger it's going to be vladimir putin within the next hour or so back to you all right. and matthew, >> as the election is taking place, there, there have also been constant ukrainian drone attacks. can you tell us about that? >> yeah the half been and this has been something that's been taking place in the background as this election carries on. and it is a stark reminder to people in russia of that brutal war, which russia calls its special military operation taking place in neighboring ukraine. because over the past couple of days in putting there have been multiple drone strikes aimed at russian oil facilities from ukraine inside russian territory. and there are dramatic images of some of
11:06 am
those oil refineries in flames. and so it's obviously done significant damage to that sort of infrastructure. there's also been cross-border raids by ukraine base east russia, and militias from ukraine into russian territory as actually russian territory is being attacked on the ground as well. so again, all that serving as a backdrop of violent backdrop as these are these poles now close in russia for a presidential election, which vladimir putin is certainly to win. >> all right, matthew chance in moscow. thank you so much. let's turn now to fred pleitgen in berlin. so fred, the widow of late opposition leader alexey navalny, was among the large crowds who voted remotely there in germany. what can you tell us about that? >> either fredricka large crowds is certainly correct. i mean, a lot of the things that matthew was unable to see there in russia because obviously the people they're forced to be quite subdued and open criticism of course, is something that can get you to trouble very quickly, not so on
11:07 am
the streets of berlin and certainly in the area around the russian embassy where of course the voting takes place for the russian presidential election. there was a big protest that took place there, but there were also huge crowds that apparently, many of which took part against in that midday against putin the action that the russian opposition had called for yulia navalnaya, the widow of alexei navalny, was indeed among the crowd and vote voted in the presidential election inside the russian embassy, she stood in line for it. rca for five hours because there were so many other people who took part in that action, but also other russians who wanted to vote. and they're really pretty remarkable scenes. there were some people who came out in with anti-war signs. there was one lady who came to vote and stood in line for phi out five hours and a blue coat with yellow writing that said stand with ukraine on it, and then went into the russian embassy to vote. so a completely different picture than what we're seeing inside russia. yulia navalnaya, after
11:08 am
she was inside the embassy to vote she came out and she said that she had written the last name and navalny on the ballot because she obviously believes as she put it at the real opposition leader is not on the ballot, that being her late husband, alexey navalny's, xi also called vladimir putin, a gangster as she came out. but again, there were a lot of protests that took place outside of the russian embassy as well. i was able to speak with one of the opposition leaders, me kind of hard a cough, ski, and here's what he had to say >> well, not seeking. we have >> the only opportunity to show by going to the polling stations at the same time that those who oppose putin and those who opposed the war. >> we are the majority and this is important inside russia. it's important for those russians who are in other countries today, because putins propaganda is trying to convince including western public opinion that all russians are favorable for war. all russians are in favor. putin. and the propaganda is trying to build a barricaded where all russians will be on
11:09 am
one side i'd in the rest of the world will be on the other side. >> yes. sub noise >> again, yulia navalnaya, though the most prominent among the russian opposition activists who came today to berlin to casts her ballot. she was cheered on actually enlarge parts as she was waiting by the crowd, a lot of people chanting, yulia we are with you, fredreka, very powerful statements. all right, fred pleitgen in berlin. thanks so much. let's bring in now joy new meyers. she's a journalist and historian of russia and eastern europe, joy, great to see you. so i wonder, you know, as we saw in matthew's piece, there were acts of defiance. can you give us an idea what happens to the people who are calling? but in such acts of defiance, putting dye in the voting ballot box or lighting fire thanks for having me, fredreka. well, there are serious consequences for anyone who dares to openly defy the russian state right now. they have laws that criminalize
11:10 am
discrediting the russian army, quote unquote, or spreading disinformation are fake news and initial offenses can be a very severe, fine, and repeated offenses. and sometimes first offenses can result in various significant jail time. we've seen people get anything from one to seven and beyond years for really any low-level difference at this point. >> okay. there's a presumed outcome, right from these elections, weber >> so what is the >> purpose of these elections in the first place >> it's an excellent question because, why should a dictator have elections at all? but it's very important for putin's administration. two to create a spectacle of legitimacy, to convince russians that everyone supports him. so there's no point in trying to oppose him. and that there really is no future russia without putin unfortunately, this narrative does seem to be convincing to some extent, to a lot of
11:11 am
russians who either actively support him were, are simply designed to his continued presidency into the indefinite future >> is there anybody who had paint a picture of what the future will look like with new term. >> is it the same old >> thing that we've seen from a vladimir putin? or is he embolden to bring something different to his leadership? this go round well, there's certainly no sign that he has any plans of backing down from the war in ukraine. russia has vastly increased its military spending and the russian elites are all pretty much in line behind putin so we would certainly expect that he would try keep trying to extract maximum territorial gains from ukraine, while also creating partnerships with china, india, other countries outside of the eu, united states, orbit. and on the domestic front course, he will keep crackdown on any signs of opposition. there is some concern that especially if donald trump is elected in the
11:12 am
us, that putin might indeed feel emboldened to attack other countries in eastern europe, such as poland or the baltics. now, attacking a country that's a member of mayo would be a much bigger gamble for putin than attacking ukraine, which was much more vulnerable. in order to do it, he would need to do another mass mobilization which the russian state tried to do in fall 2022. it was hugely unpopular. there were the biggest protests since the full-scale invasion began. so again, to attend any kind of broader invasion in europe at this point, would be a huge gamble for the kremlin. >> and then finally, i want to talk to you about something you wrote recently in the new york times that putin is also using arts and culture to further his goals to what capacity >> well, the russian state is pouring a lot of resources into something called z culture in support of the war, it's named after the letter that's written on russian tanks in ukraine. and it can this of rap
11:13 am
songs, pop songs, even a rock opera. there's movies, pretty much anything you can think of. and the message of all of this stuff is that russia is once again fighting the nazis in world war ii. only this time the nazis are ukraine and the collective degraded west that backs it >> do i knew meyer thank you so much. great to see you >> thank you. >> all right. still to come, democratic congressman adam schiff, blaming the us justice department for the potential scenario of some of donald trump's trials not being wrapped up before election day. i look at the former president's strategy to delay the trials next united states upstanding with jake tapper tonight at nine on cnn jpmorgan wealth management knows it's easy to get lost in investment research get helped with

11:19 am
for the next 50 years, right? young people, they're in jail for years. if you call him people, i don't know if you call them people in some cases than not people in my opinion, these are animals. okay? >> ohio holds its primary on tuesday and a possible advantage for the former president, new york judge, delayed the start of donald trump's hush money trial until at least mid april, and trump's other criminal cases are increasingly caught up in delays of their own today, democratic congressman adam schiff said, he parked we blames the us justice department for the risk that trump's trials will not be completed before the election >> although it is still my hope and belief that at least one or two of them, michael forward before the election. so yes, the department bears some of that responsibility but nevertheless, when they did bring the indictments, there is still time was still time to bring those cases in a timely way. the court should recognize that as he has done before, he
11:20 am
hopes that pushing this off will mean no justice for himself where the american people the court should simply not abide that strategy >> all right. joining me right now to talk more about all of this, is michael zeldin. he is a former federal prosecutor, also with me as jeffrey jacoby of it's a white-collar criminal attorney and an adjunct law professor at american university. and we know you all are good friends too. >> a great to have both of you >> all right. so michael o'leary, begin with you as a former federal prosecutor and someone who worked at the doj is the department of justice, partly to blame for the lack of a trump trial potentially ahead of the election because doj waited too long to charge him or have trump's attorneys effectively found ways to delay things >> maybe fred a little of both in a big case like this, you normally work your way up from the bottom and i think they did that meticulously and when they brought the indictment says shifts said there was plenty of
11:21 am
time. who are this case to go to trial? the problem was that the courts have taken a long time to resolve the principal issue of immunity. it's now pending before the court. argument is on april 25th. >> if the for it responds in a bush and gore sort of timeline, three to five days or even a us versus nixon. couple of weeks, then there's still time for the trial, but everything now hinges on the calendar that the court sets for issuing its opinion. >> all right. and the meantime, i'd jeffrey, let's look at a couple of the cases that we're supposed to be happening very soon in the new york hush money case, the manhattan district attorney alvin bragg, offered to delay matters for 30 days to allow the defense to review a about 100,000 pages of you evidence. so is that customary? >> well, what >> 30 >> day trump people ask for 90 and the reason alvin bragg had to ask what 30 days is that the
11:22 am
last second on the eve of trial, the department of justice produced the number of documents to brag now, bragg has to produce them to trump's camp. and so he had to last for the delay. you have to review the documents and he had to produce them notwithstanding 30 days still allows him to start the trial and finish it far in advance of the election. >> does this potentially make the case stronger? alvin bragg's case stronger, i may have you got doj offering and providing more evidence. you've got to take it so what does that potentially mean for that case? jeffrey well well, it really depends on what's in the documents. and we haven't had an explanation yet from doj as to why they held onto them and did not produce them until recently. but after breck has a strong case and there are a number of issues that trump has raised and tried to delay it. and brett sort of sat on on the sidelines and was waiting for the january 6 trial to go to trial first, but since it did
11:23 am
not he stepped up and he said, we'll take our case to trial. >> okay. and then michael in the georgia subversion case, i election subversion case, the defense challenging whether the district attorney, fani willis should be removed, consequently, delayed a possible summer trial. is it your concern and i'm quoting now? that an odor of mendacity remains. i mean, that's how judge mcafee stated at do his words or any appeal give defendants yet another shot at further delay here any willis was very lucky that mcafee ruled as he did. he could well have ruled to disqualify her and the entire office because he gave her the choice of u and the entire office or nathan wade. she had an out wade resigned and now the case can move forward. whether they appeal or not is up to them. but really this is a pretty
11:24 am
much fact bound decision. there isn't really much of an opportunity for them to appeal and be successful on that appeal. of course they may try if that will further delay matters, but it's no guarantee that that it will so what we have here is a situation where if any willis was exorcising sound judgment, she would recede into the background and let somebody else be the voice of the case. in public find yourself a new untarnished special counsel to replace wade and then move forward. >> but then michael does it appear as though the judge's decision was appealed proof because what you say she was very lucky that he is allowing her to stay on the case the judge also said that defendants didn't prove that she financially benefited from the prosecutor being on the case. so there isn't anything there to appeal is they're pretty
11:25 am
much that's right, fred, the judge found that they'll case-law of georgia requires an actual conflict that she benefited financially from this arrangement. he said it didn't exist. the evidence was not proven but there was this odor of mendacity meanings that there was possible false testimony. and that there was ugly appearance of sort of conduct conflict. and that's why wade had to go the reality is here that this case can and should proceed, but it should proceed with somebody other than fani willis in the public domain and wade is gone altogether so that the court of appeals and the trial judge should be satisfied that what they wanted to take effect has now been put into place. yeah. >> jeffrey, you'd agreement that someone else should take the lead while still on the case, someone else should take the lead, be the public face of the case. prosecution.
11:26 am
>> i think what fani willis should do is fight and get it together. like the case for rehabilitate her reputation and put her all into it. she is still on the case, the judge. so split it in the middle. said there was no actual conflict she does not have to recuse herself. and i think she was elected by the people and elana and she should five. >> interesting. all right. we'll leave it there, gentlemen. oh, okay. go ahead. michael was going to say one thing, jeff, is that she's now going to be facing bar complaints. they're going to file for sure ethics and other complaints against mr. and so she's going to still be fighting this reputational matter, which is why i think she'd be better off receding and then she could take her reputational stuff for her reelection, not for this case. >> all right. >> friends and colleagues will leave it there. you can call each other later. i know there's more to talk about it. i like it though. we'll have you both back. icon, jeffrey,

11:32 am
longer fits the needs of israel after october 7. and i believe that holding a new election, once the war starts to wind down would give israelis an opportunity to express their vision for the post-war future. >> today on cnn, prime minister netanyahu pushed back >> as far as what senator schumer said, the majority of israelis support our governments, 82% of americans support ford israel instead of hamas, but the majority of israelis support a policies that were leading go into rafah to destroy the remaining hamas terrorist battalions, make sure that we don't put into gaza instead of hamas, the palestinian authority that educates their children towards terrorism. and the annihilation of israel. the majority of israelis support the policies of my government. it's not a fringe government and represents the policies supported by the majority of the people. if senator schumer opposes these policies is not
11:33 am
opposing me, is opposing the people of israel cnn's got mcclain is in istanbul or scarred netanyahu also criticize the latest ceasefire proposal from hamas so what more did he say? >> hey fredreka it is hard to be optimistic about the state of things after watching that interview, frankly, and just to remind people the latest proposal from hamas involves, very broadly speaking, two phases. the first, which would involve handing over 40 of the 100 israeli hostages that they believe are still alive. this would be women, elderly the sick, and the injured in exchange for palestinian prisoners, perhaps 700 to 1,000 of them. the second phase though, is where it gets complicated. that would involve the remainder of the hostages, more prisoners some of whom are serving life sentences in israeli jails right now. but the real sticking point is that hamas continues to insist on a permanent ceasefire and a permanent withdrawal of israeli troops, something that the israelis will be very hard pressed to actually agree to even a diplomat familiar with
11:34 am
these talks taking place in doha, this coming weeks that will be a central challenge is getting the israelis to agree to this. the prime minister benjamin netanyahu, was asked about this by dana bash earlier on cnn, and he was asked whether he was open to hamas's proposal. here's what he said. >> well, time will tell, but hamas is outlandish demands and i'm not itemizing every one of them now, mix that deal a lot more difficult, but we're going to keep on trying because we want those hostages back. we understand also that the one thing that gets hamas to give them is to give these hostages two plus is the continued military pressure that we're applying there. so we're going to continue military pressure and we're going to continue to try to get those hostages out and we've succeeded already in bringing half of them out. i hope we continue along that same course. >> so if there is something something to be optimistic about, fredricka, it said the israelis, or at least sending a
11:35 am
delegation to the next round of talks this week in doha. so they will be in the same city as hamas, if not in the same room of them? of course not many. i was also asked for repeatedly about aid and why more isn't getting in. and he continues to insist that israel is doing everything that it possibly can to get aid in. and he says that he is supportive of the airdrops and the maritime corridor that had been opened up, things that frankly were opened up because other countries saw the desperation and the lack of aid getting in through israel. and he says that the reason why more isn't getting in is because hamas is looting the trucks as they get in, despite the fact that there's plenty of evidence that of course the israelis are rejecting many of the shipments that are trying to go in via land crossings. >> fredricka, should anyone be optimistic about the world central kitchen, a delivery to gaza? >> yes. i mean, on the grand scheme of things, fredreka,
11:36 am
it's a drop in the bucket, but there's reason to be optimistic because of course the first round to ship called open arms, usually a search and rescue vessel managed to tow a barge carrying aid to a jetty that's been constructed with the rubble from gaza going some 60 or so yards into the ocean and using a crane, they managed to get it all delivered. its going to northern gaza if it's not there already and the ship open arms has actually returned to cyprus and i've just spoken to world central kitchen who says that that ship is actually going to return with the second shipment of aid that's going to go in. so now there's going to be three ships going, two of them carrying aid, one carrying equipment plus a barge. the difficulty that they're having at the moment home and fredreka, is that the weather is not cooperating this weekend, so it's not clear when they might actually be able to set sail. >> all right. scott mclean, in this stumble. thanks so much. >> all right. back in this country, blocks from the white house more than a half a dozen people are shot. it's one of many acts of violence that happened this weekend. that's next news night with abby

11:42 am
even forcing the town to cancel their st. patrick's day parade. cnn's polo sandoval is running is right now polo. you're reporting on pennsylvania to new jersey, may have all day yesterday. let's begin there. >> yeah. friday was just 24 hours ago. i was showing you around a neighborhood in trenton, new jersey, the scene of a tense standoff between a really small army of law enforcement and who they believed was a barricaded subject inside of a home. there in trenton and suspected in a triple homicide, the killings of his own relatives of man identified by as andre gordon. of course, we later find out hours later that that house was empty, that the suspect was in fact identified by a police officer that was guarding the perimeter and that suspect attain without any further incident. so this 26 year-old man behind bars, we are also learning today about the charges that are filed, as you might expect, that three murder charges filed in pennsylvania. but the ones that new jersey are really quite telling when you actually go through them. there's carjacking charts and
11:43 am
investigators say that he carjacked not one but two individuals during the commission of his crimes, but also possession of a file firearm without a serial number, receiving stolen property, it also possession of a large capacity ammunition magazine, as well as a position of hollow points ammunition. so it really tells us a little bit more about the potential firepower that this young man allegedly had at his disposal when he, according to investigators here's stolen car insurance and pennsylvania drove a few miles over the state line into pennsylvania, shot and killed three people, allegedly carjacked another vehicle and then drove back to trenton and walked into this red and white home here. now the reason why investigators believed that he was in there for hours, even yelling commands into the home that he turned himself in. it's because there were several individuals inside that home that scurried upstairs, told police that they believed that he was still downstairs, so effectively, law
11:44 am
enforcement had no reason to believe that gordon was no longer in that home? so they worked under that report until they they managed to track them down in terms of what the attorney general in the state of new jersey is saying, said that yesterday's incident is the latest horrific litany of illustrations of how illegal guns and assault rifles can empower one aggrieved and disturbed actor. and it certainly was an absolute tragedy here, fred, this man accused of killing three of his relatives, including his 13 year-old sister? >> yeah. >> and then polo. now, tell us about i shooting taking place in the nation's capital, not far from the white house. >> that would happen. just this morning, according to dc, metro is assisted police chief. there were about seven there were seven people who were shot on the streets of downtown dc. two of them, sadly, did not survive still a lot of questions about a potential motive here police during their last update did say that they do not have any suspects in custody at the moment. that they're pleading
11:45 am
to the public for any information as you noted, it was it's about two blocks away from the white house, but washington, those blocks are relatively small, so it is fairly concerning the proximity. but at this point, obviously this was a contained incident and authorities right now trying to find those people responsible. >> all right. polo sandoval. thank you so much. >> thanks for >> all right. both biden and trump have their sights set on the november election and to get there, it will take a whole lot of money and that's exactly what team biden and the democrats raised last month would happen to the golden boy of new jersey. >> i engaged in there with another did you want to be outed united states of scandal with jake tapper >> gotta go to therapy is if they're having an interview with jade, definitely new episode tonight at nine on cnn my daughters, emilia she is 19 months old. she is a little ray of sunshine one of the happiest

truth, the whole story with anderson cooper tonight at eight on cnn. >> all right, join me where your green today is, st. patrick's day of folks are celebrating ireland's patron saint from dublin with a st. patrick's day parade through ireland's capital to washington, dc, where the white house fountain is a vibrant green as you see right there earlier today, president biden welcomed catholic leaders to the white house to mark the holiday with a festive brunch meantime president, biden's campaign announced it raised $53 in february, including the largest grassroots fundraising total sense, the reelection campaign was announced in april. the new fund raising numbers bring his total to $155 million of cash on hand. that's the most cash any democratic presidential candidate has ever had at this stage in the election, joining
11:51 am
me right now for the white house as cnn white house correspondent, priscilla alvarez, to break down some of these numbers. so what do we know? >> well fundraising has been a bright spot for the biden campaign and these numbers are notable because they do come at a time where the rematch between former president donald trump and president biden has been crystallized. in recent days and weeks. so breaking down these numbers, that is 53 million last month, that's up from the month of january where they were about 42 million million in cash on hand at 155 million. now, last month, the president did participate in a west coast swing where he fund raised in california. there was also the gop primary in south carolina, all of which the campaign says helped fuel more donors coming toward coming to president biden with these funds. now, there was also the grassroots campaigning and on that front, 97% of donations were under $200. that's another record-breaking month for this campaign. and all of
11:52 am
it is what candidate pain officials say is a barometer of enthusiasm for president biden, even though the polls do show that his approval ratings are still low. now as far as how these funds are going to be used, we know that the biden campaign is building out its infrastructure that includes, for example hundred new offices nationwide, the hiring of 350 more staff or isn't also investing in the airwaves and more campaign advertising we've seen some of that. all right? ready in recent weeks. for example, the president note putting out an ad on his age, just acknowledging that he is older, but also saying that his ideas are not old, but rather the former president's are so all of this just coming together as this election season starts to ramp up. and so the campaign feeling pretty good. about these fundraising numbers in february, they anticipate to see more of that in march, for example, the state of the union in the 24 hours after that, they raised $10 million. those numbers are not reflected in what it was
11:53 am
put out because that was this month, not last one. so again, friday, the campaign aware that they have very tight race ahead of them going into november. but these fundraising numbers, they say are a good sign of where enthusiasm is among voters for president biden. all right. and priscilla, the president is also marking saint paddy's day today. what is planned for later on well, this has been a celebratory de here at the white house and fountains have been dyed green and this, all of this, it just an annual event for the president and the white house. they also on friday, he met with the irish prime minister were yet as crystal bowl of shamrocks. so today we're going to hear from the president again this afternoon dune and remarks marking st. patrick say the president often keen to talk about his irish roots. >> but this has been >> a more difficult, perhaps annual stop or more challenging than before because there is the israel-hamas conflict looming over all of this irish,
11:54 am
ireland, of course, has been supportive of the palestinian cause. they had great concern over what is happening in gaza. so the irish prime minister coming into the meetings over the course of the weekend really wanting to talk about gaza. that was a top priority for him when he told reporters he talked about with the president. so even though it's a very celebratory weekend for the white house, there was this conflict that was looming over all of those conversations and events. again, the two talking about it at length during an oval office meeting and over the course of the weekend. >> all right. priscilla alvarez at the white house. thanks so much. >> all right. this week's new episode of the cnn original series vegas. the story of sensitive takes us on an incredible journey from the cities origins as a dusty desert town to the entertainment mecca that it is today. here's a preview las vegas was a great town for comedians. people wanted to laugh. and they just love them. so you've got a great real section from them and you got
