This is cnn newsroom with kin group well get to those stories in a moment, but we begin with Breaking News out of australia now, were going to bring you a live look at sydney, Australia Police there, say at least five people are dead after a Stabbing Attack at a Shopping Mall. The News Conference earlier, this our police said one of their officers shot and killed the attacker the New South Wales assistant Police Commissioner said the attacker raised his knife at the officer and she opened fire and have a look here in this video, you can see people running from the scene to escape the violence. This was at the westfield ban dei Junction Shopping Center one witness said the scene was pandemonium. Was this no. I saw a woman lying on the floor in michigan, chanels um, i didnt see him properly. I was running but its just it was insane. It was insanity. I wasnt expecting it what its about. I dont know if some guy running around stabbing people seem pretty random. Probably a terrorist we just looked thank somedy who is injured down there. Were just looking because everyone waski see whatas going on. Then we saw all these people runni towards us. And en we had a shot hnd drag this into the a dash sharp, and then weve got the lady theyre trying lock the doors and then she couldnt lock the front door. So we went in the face which which has all locked, and then we were in there until the police came together Emergency Services confirmed to cnn that eight people, including a child, were taken to hospital. Theres no word on their conditions. Investigators say theyre not ruling anything out when it comes to a possible motive angus watson joins us now from sydney via phone. So angus, i mean, take us through what weve been learning about this knife attack can ride here. Now outside westfield bond adjunction, there is still a Major Police Operation underway looking through the glass here at this mega mall very large westfield shopping center, you can see heavily armed Police Moving through the shops from the outside windows and heavy Tactical Gear with very large gun. This is still unfolding here. There is ambulances on scene oh, sorry. Is checking to make sure there are no people still in this Shopping Mall. Kim. Now, what we know is this all happened just before 4 00 in the afternoon here in sydney when this area under junction was incredibly busy thousands of people enjoying a sunny day out shopping when a man and the police saying acted alone, entered the Shopping Mall with a knife, stabbing people. He the police say that he engaged. They say with at least nine people now, five people, as you say, have been tragically killed. And the man in question has been shot dead. Now you mentioned that at police not ruling anything out, but they have said that right now, theres no initial indication that this was a terror attack. They are not ruling out terror, but theres nothing at this stage to say that thats what this mans motivation was taken. Listen to what police had to say theres nothing the way are aware of at the same that would indicate any modi for any audiology we dont ruling anything out so kim, the Prime Minister, anthony albanese, has sent his wellwishes to the families of the people who were injured, saying that those people are in his thoughts, but we dont yet know who they are. We dont have any identification on the potential on the victim hey, kim or the offender all right. And well have will bring more information to our viewers as we get it. Angus watson in sydney. Thank you so much. Appreciate it. You information from us sources about a possible iranian attack on israel, a Senior Administration official and a source familiar with the intelligence tells cnn they expect iran to carry out strikes inside israel. They also say that iranian proxy groups could be involved in the attack. Iranian attack on israel could be retaliation for the israeli strike on an iranian diplomatic compound in syria last week, that attack killed three iranian generals and several other people at the white house on friday, us President Joe Biden says an attack from inside iran or from its proxy forces and other countries could happened suit and harris you. Come around. Mr. President expectation dont cnns Jomana Karadsheh is live in london. So jomana, what is the latest on this threat from iran . Well, you know, kim, since that strike by the israelis on april 1st, that killed senior commanders of iranians irgc, the revolutionary guard in that strike on the diplomatic, the console or compound in damascus, everyone in the region has really pretty much been on edge special chilean israel, as they wait and anticipate the iranian response and the iranians have been clear saying that they will retaliate and it is something you would expect after such a brazen attack by the israelis on high level commanders from the Iranian Revolutionary guard corps. So the question has been since then, what sort of a retaliation are we going to be seeing . What form is it going to take . What is the scale where, how will it be iran directly . Quickly carrying out this retaliatory strike or strikes, or are we going to be seeing iran using its proxies and allies in the region to do this. Now, what we are hearing from various us sources, us officials, in the last 24 hours is that theyre saying that this is pretty much looking imminent at this point as you heard from president biden, there, they are also saying that this is going to be iran carrying out an attack inside israel. It could also potentially be using its proxy sees in these attacks that it would potentially involve drones and missiles. And one, and the number of us officials as well, telling cnn that they have intelligence that the iranians have been moving assets, military assets, and weapons inside the country, including drones Cruise Missiles, according to one official, up to 100 Cruise Missiles being readied. It is unclear whether this is going to be used in the iranian retaliation or if this is posturing kim because israel has made clear if it is attacked, it is going to respond as well inside iran. So if this is iran posturing in anticipation of any sort of response lets but we also need to keep in mind we have also heard from sources kim saying that the iranians, one to respond as they have made clear, but at the same time they want this to be a calculated and measured response. The big question also remains not only how will iran respond, but how will israel respond to any sort of attack by the iranians as well . Yeah, so much is still unknown appreciate the update. Jomana karadsheh in london. Appreciate that now, joining me is fox on sabbat . He is a Senior Research associate with the geneva graduate institute. Thank you so much for being here with us so to build on what we were just discussing there in terms of rons likeliest options to iran could. For example, carry a type of for tat and an attack on an israeli diplomatic facilities bloody in another country. They could attacked israel directly. And you think the likely here might be an attack carried out via one of rons proxies. What do you think is the most likely scenario here . My good. Were having this meeting, having me on this question so i wanted to likely to retaliate using and what its proxies simply because they may be seen as up to snuff in terms of responding to the damage that israel pulling down on a facility as well as play long number of more junior officers. Think some food on direct Retaliation Volume on itself. Those in an order for monday supplemented attacks from its absolute resistance to the law, i saw a lot with them work groups in syria and iraq. You talked about sort of pleasing hard liners. I wonder whos actually making the decisions on this and what role do those hardliners play here . But the most senior level these types of decisions are made by the Supreme National security council, which is hottest decisionmaking body on national decision, National Security questions and enforced attack of this level would have to have the sign off Supreme Leader ayatollah headed combinator probably at this moment, the instinct of view, very senior decisionmakers is to based on classic which is then if the attack is perceived as being too weak willed, anger inside you have iran has not responded firstly, enough to the assassination and killings of iranian honore see officers even going before october november, and december, but israel im talking to you im going to also israels very likely to condemn such strong messages have been going back and between the us and iran through diplomatic channels. How effective do you think that diplomacy will be and how likely is it do you think that despite that this attack or after after the attack and israels response, it might trigger an Offensive Spiral that might eventually involve the us number and a level of messages that have been going to your mom, both from the United States, in directed for european officials through officials, through turkish officials, as well as others unlikely somewhat effective in scaling back the of the response. The other side of the goldilocks allowed in there were discussing is that iran attack is too strong, that israel will feel forced to respond from his mom, one and furthermore, could who dont calculation here either from the attacking two weeks, please dont and so these types of different play a role in helping your while to kind of scale its been contemplated we will have to leave it there, but really appreciate your analysis far as on sabbat. Thank you so much all right. Still to come, what donald trump is doing, the help us House Speaker mike johnson, who faces the threat of being ousted by hardline conservatives, plus trumps first criminal trial begins on monday and he faces possible jail time and take a closer look at how challenging Jury Selection could be.

Now it comes amid a push from fellow republican congresswoman Marjorie Taylor greene to oust johnson from the speakership. Trump said johnson is quote, doing a very good job, adding that he knows green has a lot of respect for the speaker. Trump also spoke about his criminal hush money trial well, lets set to begin monday in new york. Curious Jury Selection is largely luck it depends who you get. Its very unfair that im having a trial. Theyre justifying. I tell the truth. I mean, all i can do is tell the truth and the truth is that theres no case despite trumps continued efforts to delay the trial, sources say he will be in the courtroom when Jury Selection starts on monday. Hes charged with 34 counts of falsifying Business Records stemming from payments made to adult film star Stormy Daniels before the 2016 election . Cnns Jessica Schneider is in washington with more this is election interference. Donald trumps outsized personality could present a challenge to lawyers monday as they set out to find 18 unbiased manhattan residents to decide trumps criminal hush money case you have a former president of the United States, someone who is very controversial how difficult is it going to be to seat a jury based on the defendant here . I think its going to be difficult. Its going to take a long time. Dr. Leslie ellis has worked as a Jury Consultant for 25 years. She estimates it could take more than a week for lawyers to settle on 12 jurors plus six alternates, and for both sides, it may be more about weeding out the wrong ones than finding the right ones. One of overriding premise of Jury Selection is that its a misnomer. Its dri d selection. Its sort of finding those two or three people who really scare you for whatever reason ben and to get rid of them, hundreds of potential jurors will arrive at the Manhattan Criminal Courthouse monday morning, once inside the courtroom, theyll come facetoface with trump. He has the right to sit through Jury Selection and sources tell cnn he plans to be there. Anyone with conflicts like knowing someone involved in the case or strong biases . They cant disregard will likely be immediately dismissed then the work begins. Each juror will have to answer 42 very specific questions out loud inside th courtroom. They range from where they live to whether they support Extremist Groups like q and on the proud boys or antifa, theyll even be asked to disclose what News Organizations they listened to. Really getting to understand who this juror is, what this jurors is going to do when he or she gets the evidence house is jurgen to interact with this code jurors, its your own opportunity to get a feel for them as people and not as number 123, et cetera, this jury will be very different from the last one trump faced during the E Jean Carroll defamation case. That jury was in Federal Court and the jurors came not only from manhattan, but also a diverse array of surrounding counties this jury will only be drawn from manhattan. Were voters overwhelmingly shows joe biden in 2020, nearly 87 to 12 political affiliation it doesnt necessarily mean bias, right and thats what theyre going to have to figure out there may be lots of reasons for somebody to vote for a candidate that dont necessarily de facto translate into a bias for or against the other candidate. The jurors who ultimately gets selected will not be known to the public. Their name sims, images and identities will not be released even though lawyers on both sides, well know their names. Dr. Ellis says trumps attorneys and prosecutors will have to be on high alert for any potential juror who might hide their true feelings. An effort to ultimately append deliberations. Im not a big believer that Stealth Jurors are everywhere, but in a case like this, theres definitely a higher risk of a stealth juror, meaning someone who intentionally keeps quiet about an opinion to get on the jury. Theyre not that common. Theyre not as common as a lot of people think. But here thats a real risk the jury pool will initially be about 500 people. Therell be called into the courtroom 100 at a time where theyll immediately disclosed any conflicts they have in the case and then potentially be dismissed the potential jurors that remain will answer 42 indepth questions, and then therell be further question by lawyers on both sides. So this could be a cumbersome process that takes more than a week. That means Opening Statements might not begin until the week of april 22.

This is cnn newsroom, an update now on the Breaking News in sydney, australia, police say there are at least five people whove been killed after a Stabbing Attack at a shot Shopping Mall. One once ago, australias Prime Minister said the attack was beyond words or understanding a News Conference last hour, police said one of their officers shot and killed the attacker. The New South Wales assistant Police Commissioner said the attacker raised his knife at the officer and she opened fire one man told reporters, he saw what happened. Listen us got and getting coming home on the bus just coming around the corner.

Well, he wouldnt give ganim whos on the rampage. He was on a rampage Emergency Services confirmed to cnn that eight people, including a child, were taken to hospital. Theres no word on their conditions. Investigators say they are not ruling anything out when it comes to a possible motive angus watson joins us now from sydney via phone so angus still a lot unknown, but take us through what we are learning about this horrific attack jim wright here outside westfield in bondo junctions, sydneys east. It is still a scene of our major police undertaking underway federal and state Police Officers here onto the on site as well as ambulances and paramedics we are not sure right now what the status is inside the more there is a possibility that theres might be people inside thats what the police theyre looking for. People still hiding hours after this attack happened when around three, 30 in the afternoon, a man who police say was acting alone, entered this very busy Shopping Mall, swinging and knife, stabbing people, killing at least fires. One of the people that he injured was a baby through his now been saved. So hospital. Kim. So as we just heard from the witness, there the attacker was taken down, shot by a police officer. Now, Prime Minister anthony albanese, just speaking now labeled her a brave hero. She was alone. She did not have any backup, nor did she waits for other police south goes to arrive before she entered the mall track down the attacker and shot him dead there the Prime Minister saying that if she hadnt done that, put herself in danger in that way, that more people would have died. Qin an act of bravery and heroism for sure. And angus so a public attack like this five dead, at least several injured, including a trial. I mean, its not something australians are used to seeing. How are people theyre reacting to this tragedy . With shock could certainly kim, this is not expected here in sydney. This was a beautiful saturday afternoon, people out shopping in a busy and vibrant area of town, enjoying themselves going about their business. And this attack occurring is just taking people absolutely by supply at price. And we pour that you heard from the Prime Minister as well, saying that there arent words to describe the horror that people here have seen just as they go about their business. M police Here W Marshaling the situation much more the motivation for this t about horric actf violence. Can weustt know yet yeah, police y the threat is over, buthe motive ill unknown. Angus angus watson in sydney. Ank you so much. Appreciate it all right. Now, the violence and turmoil in the middle east, two sources tell cnn they expect iran to carry out strikes inside israel. Now that comes from a can you hear Administration Official and a source familiar with the intelligence last week israel struck in iriaconsulate in syria, us President Joe Biden says he expects iranian retaliation ll happen sooner rather than later asked what message he wants to send to iran, biden replied, dont israel says it carried out airstrikes on friday against ron back hezbollah in southern lebanon. The idf says the strikes hit military buildings. Hezbollah was using hezbollah says it retaliated by Firing Dozens of rockets into israel now amid the israelhamas war, the United Nations has warned repeatedly that Palestinian Civilians were at risk of famine, was Jeremy Diamond reports, its happening now in parts of Gaza Rami Uttar has been waiting two months for this single box of humanitarian aid cans of meat and vegetables to feed his family of seven, a gunman was. This will be gone in ten days. He says his frustration unmistakable, and im going to celebrate. I dont know how its going to be enough for evan people. Ive been suffering here, being stuck for the last six to seven months and the un hasnt brought me anything to at least satiate my hunger six months into the war. Famine is creeping into parts of gaza humanitarian aid agencies have been sounding the alarm for months, but now amid ramped up, us pressure, israel is suddenly taking major steps. To increase humanitarian aid. We plan to flood gaza with aid. Defense minister uav golan said this week describing a new phase of humanitarian assistance that well see more aid flow into israels port of us stood and into gaza via a new northern crossing point overnight, the first trucks of Food Aid Crossing into Northern Gaza via that new crossing point israel says it has nearly doubled the number of humanitarian aid trucks getting into gaza over the last week. Screening close to 400 trucks per day because were dealing with the wrong part of the system. What jamie mcgoldrick, the uns humanitarian coordinator, says its clear israel is suddenly shifting its approach to humanitarian aid. Well, thats for sure. I mean, there has been changed. Weve been asking for this for months the fact we would ask for more say kerem shalom to be open longer. Weve asked for more routes and a corridor from jordan mv asked for all of the things that no. Stout to say theyre going to give us but ask the question, why didnt get it before four months, israeli leaders have rejected accusations that they are limiting aid into gaza or intentionally starving its population well, our policies do not have famine, but to have the entry of humanitarian support as needed and as much as is needed. But the sudden rampup, almost like flipping a switch, suggests israel could have done a lot more, a lot sooner. Well, i think it was never seen to be a priority. I mean, i think for them as the war aims the objectives of the war that was first and foremost were be seen as a sort of a second priority or even a Nuisance Value Data from unrwa, the uns main agency in gaza, shows that israel has steadily allowed more aid into gaza since opening up humanitarian crossings on october 21, with the exception of february, when the number is but aid trucks dropped to less than 100 per day before slowly increasing again in march. But those numbers are all well below the 500 humanitarian aid and commercial trucks that entered gaza every day before the war. The impact of insufficient aid has been obvious four months it is marked all over the emaciated face of little leyla as you need barely three months old. She is among the 30 of children in Northern Gaza who are suffering from acute malnutrition and who desperately need more aid. Now Jeremy Diamond, Cnn Jerusalem Ukraine says at least two people were killed in a barrage of russian strikes over the past 24 hours. Officials say more than 20 others were injured in attacks targeting at least three ukrainian regions, about 20 settlements in the northeast took Artillery Fire on the Donetsk Region was struck by mortars and artillery more than 2000 times meanwhile, former President Donald Trump may get on board with more aid for ukraine if kyiv eventually pays it back he spoke after meeting House Speaker mike johnson that trumps resort in florida on friday, johnson has been holding up some 60 in military aid for months ukraines president warned in recent days, his country will lose the war without more us help. Trump, who is the Presumptive Republican president ial nominee said this were looking at it right now and theyre talking about it and were thinking about making it in the form of a loan instead of just a gift, we keep handing out gifts of billions and billions of dollars and well take a look at it.

Com after bragging about his role in ending the constitutional right to abortion in the republican president ial candidate donald trump says, he no longer supports a federal abortion ban. Thats just one of his recent flipflops on the issue. Heres what he said on friday you have both yourself prochoice and prolife. Which one would you know exactly which one it is wow, Vice President Kamala Harris blasted trump at a rally in Arizona Harris warned that a second Trump Presidency would be worse than the first when it comes to reproductive rights. She also slammed arizonas Supreme Court recent ruling upheld an 18 64 law banning almost all abortions. Cnns Priscilla Alvarez has more from tucson Vice President Kamala Harris, his trip to tucson, arizona provided a window into 2024 and how democrats are framing the issue of abortion and how they plan to attack former President Donald Trump only moments before the Vice President took the stage. Donald trump said that he broke Roe Versus Wade and also set the stakes are doing exactly what they should on the issue of abortion. The Vice President immediately heading back and just minutes ago standing beside speaker Johnson Donald trump just said, the collection of state bans is quote working the way it is supposed to and as much harm as he has already caused a second trump term would be even worse Donald Trumps friends in the United States congress are trying to pass a national ban and understand a national ban would outlaw abortion in every state even states like new york and california and now, trump wants us to believe he will not sign a national ban enough with the gas lighting, enough with the gas lighting . President also said that donald trump wants to take america back to the 1800s, referring there to the law that the arizona Supreme Court ruling revivim earlier in the week than all so saying that that decision was Inflection Point and trying to tie these unpopular Abortion Bans across the country to donald trump calling them, quote, trump, Abortion Ban Dance of course, the Biden Campaign sees this issue as a salient political one heading into november and one that theyre trying to use to mobilize voters to the polls. Later this year, the Vice President uniquely positioned on this issue she, earlier this year launched her reproductive freedoms tour. Shes on six stops nationwide where she has repeatedly talked about this and tied the overturning of roe to former President Donald Trump. Now the Biden Campaign is also pouring more money me into the state of arizona where they will be erring more abortionrelated ads in this critical Battleground State were Voter Turnout will be important for the Biden Campaign are still alvarez. Cnn tucson, arizona for more on this. Im joined by barrett marcelin, gop, political consultant. Thank you so much for being here with us so youre in arizona, youre seeing plenty of visits from high profile democrats these days. Obviously, theyre keen to seize on this abortion is a winning issue. They want to transform the 2024 race into another referendum on abortion rights. So what do you make of what the Vice President said . And the efforts especially to tie donald trump to these policies well, first of all, thanks for having me on kim. I appreciate it. Well look, there is no one else to blame that is still alive at least for the 18, 64 prestate hood law that bans virtually every single abortion. Donald trump will be the one who bears the brunt likely four letting this essentially come into law this is a hugely winning issue, at least in arizona. We are a swing state. The Biden Administration hasnt been kind arizona Interest Rates for homes are 7 gases, 4 a gallon and even eggs are 304 a dozen it was he, the president faced a lot of headwinds, but this issue turns potentially turns arizona for my trumps state to a biden state. So its no doubt they will take advantage of that here in the state donalds dont stop, ran away from a national ban and did call for abortion to be decided by the states. And then a day later this arizona decision, so i mean, youve called this issue an albatross around trumps neck. Will that Albatross Stay put basically throughout the race, given that he has come out and say so the arizona law goes too far, will that make a difference . Well, the problem is is he has said many things about abortion it depends on the day and while sure. Leaving it up to the states is is great and it has been a republican ideology for decades. The problem is in arizona, leaving it up to the states means, a neartotal ban and that is not where the arizona electorate is. There will almost certainly be a initiative a Citizen Initiative on the ballot in november. So donald trump will be running at the same time that there is a initiative to wow abortion up to 24 weeks, which is much more liberal than the 15 week abortion ban that we sort of current law for a few more weeks. You talked about the electorate there. So i want to ask you about this. The argument, i guess is that it wont hurt trump with his own voters who understand as its you said, he has no particular ideology and theyll, theyll stick with them no matter what he says or does i guess, but youve seen the polling among independents that almost seven and ten Independence Support a federal right to abortion yeah. But it is not just independence. It is rightleaning independence, but moderate republicans and even some conservative republicans who would consider themselves prolife they still want for abortion to be legal, though rare. And if you give them a choice of zero or maybe something a little too liberal, they are likely to pick something a little too liberal that goes a little too far rather than an absolute ban and thats the problem for republicans up and down the ballot, starting with trump and Us Senate Candidate kari lets talk about that up and down the ballot. Youve already said arizona, of course, a Battleground State and not top of the president ial race theres a tossup senate race, a pair of close congressional seats up for grabs. I mean, many arizona republicans have been pretty consistent calling for strict Abortion Bans. Now, there the no proverbial dog that caught Thmail Truckn this issue and now threrying to run as far as they can the other way nate candidate kari lakes flipflop on the issue comes to mind. So how much more competitive does this issue make those seats . Well, i think you see what it does. Kari lake was a staunch prolife candidate in the last election that she lost for governor. And now shes practically prochoice it is an amazing flipflop that we have seen from her in such a short period of time because one thing she does understand she doesnt understand where the arizona electorate is, and they are not supportive of an 18, 64 law that practically bands abortion in the state so she is at least smart enough to flipflop what were seeing in arizona is obviously a battle that will see across the country in 2020 let me four, republican say they want to take the Abortion Issue off the table. So how do they do this when polls show so many people care deeply about this issue, including their base. Yes, the problem is its been laid on the table and look, it has been republican ideology for a couple of generations, right to get rid of roe v. Wade and bring it back to the states. And that is exactly where it is. And now that that has occurred its a problem for in a even in a still a republican state, still conservative state, but also a libertarian state, such as arizona because there is support for having some legal access to abortion. And republican candidates are going to have to go up against that this cycle we fascinating to see how this plays out in arizona and across the country. Barrett marston.
