10:01 am
loved one have mesothelial 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 i had to go montgomery and tokyo and this is cnn campus is cracking down on pro-palestinian protesters as tensions ratchet up across the nation. >> and at the same time and israeli airstrike on rafah in southern in gaza killed 20 people. and secretary of state antony blinken is in saudi arabia for ceasefire talks were following all of these developments here and abroad plus standing by for a ruling at any moment, the judge and former president trump's hush money trial could decide whether to hold him in contempt for violating his gag order and hizon, the fbi's ten most wanted list accused of terrorizing and entire country. now one of haiti's top gang leaders is with cnn about what he wants for haiti. we're
10:02 am
following all of these major developing stories and many more all coming in right here to cnn news central and right now. >> we are watching a tense and escalating situation unfolding at columbia university. just minutes after school officials those announced negotiations with pro-palestinian protesters had failed. the school is now warning those protesters that by 2:00 p.m. today, they must clear out of their encampment and disperse or face suspension. >> and at the same time, a pro-palestinian student group which has now been suspended by the school administration is calling on students to reject the ultimate hey, them and show up at the encampment. cnn's live from college campuses all across the country today i want to start with cnn's omar jimenez at columbia university. so omar we have this deadly fine at 2:00 p.m. where less than an hour from that, do you have any sense of what may happen yeah.
10:03 am
>> so we're getting some reports from inside campus, right now from what the students are doing in reaction to this deadline that's now coming in an hour they took a vote essentially at the encampment on whether they would define it disorder and it does appear that many of them voted to actually stay and defy that 2:00 p.m. order. obviously, the university has said, if they do that and don't sign on to university policies, they will face suspension and they will be ineligible to finish the semester on good standing. so of course those are the stakes here. now, that said obviously with this 2:00 p.m. deadline and the news of it, it is prompted some outside protesters outside agitators because your police department has described them at points to at the very least, be aware of the situation, even schedule some protests outside of the campus, maybe he part of why we've actually seen a good, a large law enforcement presence that just got to outside of columbia university within the
10:04 am
last few minutes or so. so those are all facts doctors were continuing to watch. but of course, all of this is coming hours after the university president minouche shafik announced this morning that negotiations between the student protesters and the university had failed to come to a resolution after after days, really since last week of good faith negotiations as university describe them, that means that the university will not divest from israel, which of course is one of the central points of why this encampment began in the first-place, almost two weeks ago to this point. now, moving forward, we're almost two weeks more, a little more than two weeks to graduation. and the university has said, they will have commencement here. now, how they deal with the encampment are resolved. the encampment as they describe, we will have to see, but clearly they intend and to have that commencement a little over two weeks time all right. >> i know mar standby for us because we'll be back to you within the hour. is this deadline approaches here?
10:05 am
let's go to gabe cohen gave me you're there at george washington university here in washington, where some student protesters actually toppled police barricades as the encampment there was expanded. what are you seeing? yeah. briana now, day five of this camp here at gw and things have calmed a little bit since that tense scene early this morning that you referenced where protesters are ripped apart and piled up. all of these barricades that had been around this a small section of the camp by which i'm near which i'm standing. there were about 20 protesters who were left tier. but as we spin around, you can see how many more of these tens have popped up in the hours since all over the yard, dozens of them, as well as several in the public street on the public street behind me up till this point there really has been no indication, no effort from dc police to forcefully remove the tense or the protesters. and i want to actually bring in one of those protesters now, motaz. thank you so much for joining us. you are a grad student here at gw.
10:06 am
you've been here since the beginning. the school has said you and the other gw students who were here are facing suspension, potentially arrest, eventually and yet you're still here why are you still part of this protest were here first and foremost to be in solidarity with to remind the world of what's going on. >> and because there's still a genocide that there's still bombing, even at this very moment. and so but that's why we're here. we're steadfast. just because what's going on there is absolutely horrible and we want to be here and support of them and we've heard from protesters who are part of they're saying that they're calling for gw to divest from corporations with any ties to the israeli government or the israeli military. has there been any conversation with the school? any indication that you are even remotely close to having the school meet those demands sadly, there has not been any sort of discussion or indication that they're willing to come to the table and talk to us about our demands in
10:07 am
fact, they have been they've tried to crack down on us i mean, they set up the barricade. >> we are barricaded in for the first four days they increase the police presence and we know that there have been at least two requests for the mpd to come in, an arrest us, and the mpd itself actually declined those requests. so it's been a negative response so far. >> all right. motels. thank you so much for joining us. and as i said at this point, there has really been no indication that police are going to do anything today. i've spoken with sources who told me that the police department the city, doesn't want the optics of arresting protesters forcibly removing these tense but of course things have escalated now with this scene overnight, the question, briana, alex's will mpd will the police change their posture at all as of this morning, a source telling me the escalation last night, not enough to have them change anything and arrest or forcefully removed these protesters. but we'll see what the day brings. >> all right. gabe cohen at
10:08 am
george washington right here in the nation's capital. thanks very much. let's get straight to cnn's nick valencia, who is at the emory university in atlanta, where faculty is pushing a vote of no confidence in the school's president in that comes after more than a dozen protesters were arrested, there last week. nick, we've seen a fair bit of violence there on canvas and i understand that there's a new statement from emory's president. was it say they're there is a new statement here for memories, president, they're talking about the unprecedented situation that happened i've been here on thursday sort of trying to read control the narrative. >> initially, they had said that that protests had nothing to do with the university. of course, that was not accurate. 28 people arrested, 20 of them had ties to the university either professors, students, faculty, some sort of connection. the action continues here at emory university. behind me, this is the leftover crowd from a walkout of faculty that happened at 12:00 p.m. it's ahead of another two 30 plan at demonstration, but i talked about that followed after the action on thursday at the violent arrests of 28 people one of them that was detained
10:09 am
was a professor here, the chair of philosophy, noelle mcafee, and i caught up with her a short time ago and i asked her about the concern that jewish students have here. some of suppressed of the hostility has just been to unsafe for them to return to campus. i asked her if the demonstrations that are going on here at emory are at their core anti-symmetric do you feel that the core, any of this has to do with antisemitism or what's your reaction to those feelings from those jewish students? >> i'm really sorry but i understand when people feel like that i feel attacked. we live in a culture that doesn't allow space for grieving and morning and nuance and so it's easy to read political position as a personal attack, i think that's a lot of clarity among people who were working on the issues of what's happening in gaza, that it's not anti-semitic there's some huge distinction between what our leaders do and what's going on. the people did administrator's job is to make the trains run on time and they overstep when they think they
10:10 am
need to clear aquatic in order to run a commencement ceremony. that is just so wrong we need to the first priority should be places for students and morning spaces for dialogue across differences and that'll help both sides noelle mcafee, one of the protesters are detained one of the professors, i should say here at the university, and we're also hearing from university officials that they are in negotiations with defense attorneys of those arrested on thursday to potentially dropped all charges against those who were arrested. >> meanwhile, back on campus here, there's still large crowds. it is though respectful and peaceful. >> for now. >> alex all right. >> uh, nick valencia. thank you so much for that report. and to all of our reporters at these universities across the country here, let's talk a little bit more about hello, this now with their cnn senior national security analysts, juliette kayyem, she's the former assistant secretary for the department of homeland security. and juliet obviously,
10:11 am
each situation is different. each university is different. the cities that they're in, they are different but when it comes to state and local police being called in under what circumstances should college administration administrators engage or not engage outside line? all enforcement as their balancing free speech with campus safety and operations that's exactly right. >> that is the balance and it is not one size fits all so basically, i think i think we're at a pivot point of these colleges and universities beginning to learn because remember what started this was just peacefulness and then all of a sudden the police department is arresting students who are essentially just protesting. there's, you know, they weren't they weren't, you know lighting things on fire. they were just protesting. i think what you've seen colleges and universities learn over the course of the week is that protest is a natural part of college and university experience. grants that in most instances, although there are outliers, the students are not going to be disruptive to schools or to
10:12 am
graduation. so you want to keep the temperature down if you're a university or college leader, you bring the cops in and you know, we know exactly what's going to happen. the numbers increase. people who may not even feel allegiance to the palestinian cause. we come involved. and then the third thing that i've been urging on air and elsewhere is, you provide a forum for students is protest is allowable you give them off ramps, so you're starting to see colleges and universities do that either dialogue or as we heard that professor say, another towards you bring people together and then outcomes and then eventually there will have to be some action, whether it's law enforcement or not, we don't know it could be suspension. we're in a funny period. i met a university not right now, but i teach there. it's sorted that dead time between classes and graduation there's no need to make a decision and most of these instances until you're closer to graduation, if this might
10:13 am
disrupt the building of capacity to have the graduation juliet, you mentioned the temperature that is probably about to go up at least as far as columbia university it goes, we're about 45 minutes away from this 2:00 p.m. deadline. >> a lot of students have indicated that they plan to defy this request from the administrators, to voluntarily disburse what are you hoping to see from police and other security? before yeah. >> in any case, i mean, i just i don't think that law enforcement is appropriate as a first stance, we saw a lot of people with a lot of energy, people outside of the safety and security realm, you making recommendations that you just throw the cops and we see what happens in that regard. and also we do have a first amendment rights. we do have protests rights, and these are, you know, they're not children, but on the other hand, it's that kind of energy you i think reflects the 20 somethings. >> so that, that since that's the case the kind of consequences that colleges and
10:14 am
universities can do short of arrest is essentially those it's related to their academic status and that is going to hurt them. >> i have no problem with that. if we get to that moment you cannot disrupt graduations, i think for example, usc overreacted. i think it was this was usc canceled its main graduation. you have to let jewish and other students feel protected and safe, but i'm not sure canceling and entire graduation is good for either side because people become more divided. so if i sound com, it isn't that i m is just that part of this is just buying time before you see some of the disruptions that might be or police actions that might be the limited number of colleges and universities, but no one should go first in in the way that we saw originally last week with law enforcement well it is a very tense de campuses all across the country. we know that you'll be watching carefully and we'll have you back very soon, julie, thank
10:15 am
you very much. there are new developments in the israel-hamas war right now, the us secretary of state antony blinken, he is in saudi arabia meeting with key middle eastern leaders as well as the de facto ruler of saudi arabia, crown prince mohammed bin so i'm on, this comes as hamas considers a new deal that calls for the release of hostages in exchange for a ceasefire in gaza. now blinken is saying that israel has presented hamas with a proposal that is extraordinarily generous and he is urging its leaders to accept it. >> let's go live now to saudi arabia and cnn international anchor becky anderson and becky, you have reported for months on the outline of what the second ceasefire would a pause in the fighting could look like. do you have any sense that the hi there actually closer to a deal today i think we're as close as we've been in march this has been months of deadlock, but at this stage, it does feel as if we are getting close to an
10:16 am
agreement from both sides which would be a major step towards ending this conflict let me just go through what we know to be being discussed at present. >> hamas officials with qatar mediators and egyptian mediators in cairo, as we speak, considered bring what is effectively an egyptian proposal which has been crafted with the help of these rayleigh's, but not necessarily completely agreed to. but it calls for the following phase one, a period of weeks. we're not 2303 hostages would be released least for a period of calm during a period of calm period of weeks. in exchange for palestinian prisoners. that's less hostages and the israelis had originally been demanding that was up to 40 this is up to
10:17 am
33, as we understand it. phase two should that be successful? those first period of weeks. phase two is what is important here. and this is different phase 2b calls for the restoration of, quote, a sustainable com. now i spoke to one diplomatic source, familiar with the tulips who said that is language which was first proposed by the united states in doha back in february, which wasn't at the time accepted by the israelis, which effectively suggests a permanent ceasefire without, without actually calling it that this is a restoration of sustainable calm for a period of around about a year during which the rest of the civilian hostages serving israeli soldiers and the bodies of dead hostages would be released. that would be a major
10:18 am
step. four because this would be a long period of permanent calm now that's what's on the table, and that is what's being discussed at present thanking both qatar and egypt for their efforts in all of this. antony blinken, who was here of what is the special meeting of the world economic forum in riyadh, sen. an awful lot of diplomatic flurry on them sidelines of this described the deal in the following way hamas has before to proposal that is extraordinarily extraordinarily generous. >> on the part of israel and in this moment, the only thing standing between the people of gaza and a ceasefire is hamas they have to decide and they have to decide quickly so we're, we're looking to that and i'm hopeful that they will make the right decision reason
10:19 am
he says they have to decide quickly is this hanging over these negotiations? is the threat of an israeli offensive on rafah. and we've been reporting for weeks just how catastrophic that would be for the more than million people poole who are down in rafah, right up against the border of egypt. antony blinken did say that without any reiterated today the without a concrete plan from the israelis, about how they would protect civilians, that offensive would not get the blessing of washington in and he said that to date washington has not seen a plan tony blinken is here wanting to talk two regional stakeholders saudi in the first instance. and others around this region about what happens the day after, what happens after this conflict? finishes what is the next stage for gaza
10:20 am
and the palestinians, the saudis have said that there is the option of normalization of relations with israel both the caveat here is they have to see a two solution on the table for the palestinians. and that it has to be an irreversible path. now, tony blinken is on his way from here to amman, and then on tel aviv. and he must be hoping that if the israeli turned now put these negotiations tomorrow because they see fit to do that, that there is a deal on a deal quickly all right. >> we'll be watching becky very closely to what happens there. becky anderson, live for us from riyad. thank you. former president donald trump is going to be back in into your courtroom tomorrow, but hanging over the trial today, questions over whether trump violated his gag order what does it say? ignore that the judge in this case is yet to rule. we'll talk about it how we'd really having with jesse

10:26 am
about to head into this second week of witness testimony frame it for us. what we saw last week, the biggest takeaway from what we've seen so far yeah. >> well, i'm glad to be with all of you. >> this week will be much more of the same and that is what the prosecution will continue to sort of built on the foundation of the case. i mean, what we saw were some wins for both sides, frankly, last week, you had some good testimony from pecker from the state at the same time, you had some good information that came in for the trump team and that is information like, well, you know, michael cohen was doing this. this is the normal way of doing business. there's nothing unique here in setting this type of story. purchase up. we've done it for other politicians and other celebrities. and so that's good information to get in front of the jury. but you know, this is a paper case. it's follow the money case. those could be boring cases for a jury and so the prosecution's goal needs to be as they go through these this multi-week trial is to
10:27 am
really figure out a way to keep that hook in the mouth of those jurors so that they can stay engaged and stay if you don't do that by having a banker up for a long time. so i think you'll see the banker finished his testimony talking about how the corporations were set up, how the payments were made, the efforts that went into that, the direction he got about that. >> and then, you know, your life to see some what i would say would be more exciting witness, whether that's michael cohen that somebody closer into the trump camp like hope hicks, they're going to have to manage that or else it's like having your accountant, nothing nothing regard for cannabis, but having your accountant standing in front of you for two weeks explained in a tax code that does not keep an average panel of jurors engaged for long so that's going to be the balance i have to walk going forward then david, outside of the courtroom, the way that this is being perceived, we have a new poll that was released last weekend and found that only 13% of those who were polled think that trump is being treated the
10:28 am
same way that other criminal defendants will be. so why do you think that so many americans? these are seeing these proceedings as unfair and do you agree yes. >> so i think there's certain extent the former president's making the case about michael cohen is on your phone every night on some social media app for six or eight hours, taking an ax to donald trump and donald trump can't tweet back at them right? he's going to violate his order here. it's court ordered. so i think that's setting up a little bit of the disparate treatment perhaps two people are saying they're saying, wait, michael cohen could do this. but yet donald trump cat. now, i know there's lots of legal reasons for that, but the average american do they see that now, they see that as unfair and they see this look quite frankly, there's an extension of lawfare is michael said, this is a paper case. this is a case that's a federal case. there was passed on by the department of justice and the previous yes. district attorney took a pass on it and it's been strapped to a state case. it'd be in bootstrapped up and
10:29 am
it's a eight week long case and we for this first started everybody on every network said, boy, this alvin bragg case, a stinger here, right? and so i think the people in people who are watching that, to the extent of people are, i think they see that is a little bit unfair to the former president. i got an email from a friend of mine who said, look, i am, he left the trump team a time ago. he said, i'm watching this case i'm back on the team unbelievably right there. he winning people over because they feel like he's getting fair, unfairly treated. >> i wonder just whether fair or unfair if you think the judge can even keep up with donald trump in the things he says, because for instance, he has to rallies on wednesday night. this is ahead of the gag order hearing on thursday. we don't know what trump is going to say, but if past is prologue, he's probably going to say something that certainly goes up to the line or maybe crosses the line. do you think the judge can even keep up? with these potential violations? and so i i'm not
10:30 am
in the courtroom. >> i've not dealt with the judge, elie and others who've been there have been with particular judge, think that he's pretty fair and keep things going pretty pretty down the line and keeps moving forward. he's gonna have a tough time. he's not gonna put donald trump in jail. that's for sure. he keeps finding 10,000 bucks here and there, but that's not going to is that going to stop him in a case that's cook could mean the presidency yeah, i don't i don't think so. so to your point, it's going to be tough for judge marsha on to kind of keep them in line by tapping them on the knuckles with the rule or every once in a while, they seven to tough well, it's gonna be it's gonna be a remarkable second week. we've got the banker back on. gary farro back on the stand tomorrow. and of course, we know that you and all of us here. we'll be watching very, very closely this historic, unprecedented browse. we keep saying david urban, michael moore. thank you both very much. >> and we head back to the campus of columbia university in just a moment. >> the school now telling protesters that they have until 2:00 p.m. so just half an hour from now to leave their encampment or face suspension will be speaking with a columbia student about the mood

safety, it's simply a ghost town where i am right next to the campus. and so as for the encampment, i hope things let's go as smoothly as possible. but obviously, we're really expecting something else to play out. >> the statement from the group. would you sort of this umbrella group of a number of student groups says that we've informed the university that we are prepared to escalate our direct actions if they do not adopt basic standards of conduct for negotiations what does that mean to you as you hear that nick and and what do you worry that maybe he mean it's pretty disturbing to me. it makes me worry that something physical is going to break out, that some horrible things are going to start to be said. and as a jew and as a zionist, i believe that that could ultimately spell out a lot of hatred towards my end as me being under those categories. and i think ultimately the encampment leaders, not the actual inhabitants, somebody in
10:38 am
camden, but those who are engaged in the negotiations. they've shown their true colors a little bit because we've seen in these negotiations, columbia offered to offer investment, to offer charity towards gazan health, towards gazan education towards scholarships for displaced students in gaza. and so forth. and so seeing the leaders of encampment, negotiations would go against that refused to do that because columbia would still be investing in israeli companies. it shows that they ultimately care more what about hurting israel civilians and helping gazan civilians? >> nick, i read something that you said recently that the vilification of zionism has spilled over into the vilification of judaism. how much do you think that that conflation is playing into this? that's that israel's opponents are simply assuming that jewish students on campus support the israeli government's policies i think there is a large bit of that assumption. and at the end of the day, about 80% of jews are
10:39 am
in fact zionists. so oftentimes when you're in this sort of echo chamber that columbia oftentimes this is hatred of zionism clung zionists, terrorists calling them nazis, as we've constantly seen throughout campus may inevitably spillover into hatred of jews in the process. and i don't deny that there are many jews living in the encampment, but when you actively throw the most vile rhetoric towards 80% of jews, then that's going to ultimately reflect oftentimes it's simple hatred of jews i wonder nick, if i can ask you is we're waiting to see what happens at two. >> because this deadline approaches. you mentioned that there are jews living in the encampment. one of the more outspoken protesters is jewish and he's talked about the arrest and the eviction from campus of jewish students who oppose israel's war on gaza. he said, quote, calls to more heavily police our campus, actively endanger jewish students and threatened the regular operations of the uterus bursty far more gravely than peaceful protests what do you say to that i think
10:40 am
oftentimes peaceful protests, especially what we've usually seen at the encampment, don't present a danger to me personally as a jew and to most other jews on campus, i can say that much, but there's still is the necessity to have policing i've security, especially outside the gates, gates of campus because it was especially outside the gates of campus. >> were non columbia affiliated protesters had amassed and shouted some horrible things. yeah. who deemed go away, go back to poland, will repeat october 7, 10,000 times. those chants in danger of my safety as a jew. and we need security to be there to make sure that those active threats don't spill over into actual physical violence nick, we appreciate you speaking with us. >> obviously, we're watching very carefully as we're about 20 minutes away from this deadline. thank you. for being with us thank you. and still ahead, we have a cnn exclusive. are david culver entering haiti's gangland to speak with a gang leader who now stands accused of destabilizing the
