📢 Dramatic Testimony in Trump's Hush Money Trial

Michael Cohen, former lawyer and 'fixer' for Donald Trump, testified against his ex-boss in a courtroom drama. Cohen alleged that Trump directed him to arrange payments to silence Stormy Daniels about an alleged affair, actions taken to protect Trump's 2016 presidential campaign. The defense aimed to undermine Cohen's credibility, highlighting his admission to previous lies. A contentious cross-examination was anticipated, with the prosecution painting a pattern of behavior rather than an isolated incident.

05:00

🏺 Middle East Conflict: Israel Battles Hamas in Gaza

In the Middle East, Israel is engaged in conflict with Hamas militants in northern Gaza, where the militants have regrouped. Meanwhile, in southern Gaza, 360,000 people have fled as Israeli forces advance on the city of Rafah. Despite warnings from President Biden about civilian risks, Israel continues military operations, claiming the presence of Hamas fighters in Rafah. The UN reports a significant number of displaced people, many of whom are experiencing this displacement for the sixth time. Palestinians express a lack of resources and future in the areas to which they are being relocated.

10:02

🛡️ Quick Action at Louisiana Church Averts Tragedy

At a church in Abbeville, Louisiana, swift action by parishioners prevented a potentially tragic incident. A suspicious person, later identified as a 16-year-old armed with a gun, attempted to enter St. Mary Magdalene Church during a service where 60 children were preparing for their first communion. The individual was intercepted and escorted out by church members before the police arrived. The suspect was arrested and taken for a mental evaluation, charged with terrorizing and juvenile gun possession. The church plans to have law enforcement present at future services.

15:03

🌪️ Severe Weather Threat Across Gulf Coast

Severe weather, including large hail and potential tornadoes, continues to impact the Gulf Coast, with wind damage reported in Louisiana. Meteorologists are monitoring the progression of storms, with the potential for 60-80 mile-per-hour wind gusts as they move toward Lafayette, Baton Rouge, and the New Orleans area. Flash flooding is also a concern due to the recent heavy rainfall, with warnings in place for an area impacting 8 million people. Further severe weather is forecast for parts of North Florida and southern Georgia.

🚒 San Francisco Considers Ban on Firefighter Uniforms

San Francisco is considering a ban on certain firefighter uniforms due to concerns that the protective chemicals used may cause cancer. Studies have shown that firefighting is carcinogenic, and even the clothing worn by firefighters contains potentially harmful substances known as PFAS, which are used to repel flammable liquids and resist heat. These 'forever chemicals' are persistent in the environment and in the human body. The city is looking to enact a nationwide first ban on protective gear made with these chemicals, despite the fact that alternative gear without PFAS is not yet widely available.

Highlights

Michael Cohen, former personal attorney to Donald Trump, testified against his former boss, alleging that Trump directed him to arrange payments to silence Stormy Daniels during the 2016 campaign.

Cohen claimed that Trump's primary concern was the impact on his presidential campaign, not the potential harm to his marriage.

The defense is expected to challenge Cohen's credibility, referring to him as an admitted liar.

A secret recording made by Cohen of a conversation with Trump was played for the jury.

360,000 people are fleeing as Israeli forces advance on the southern Gaza city of Rafah.

A teenager with a gun was stopped from entering a Louisiana church during a livestreamed service with 60 children present.

Trump has denied having sex with Daniels and pleaded not guilty to charges related to the hush money payments.

Cohen admitted to secretly recording Trump while discussing repayment of the 'National Enquirer', which purchased the story of another woman claiming to have had sex with Trump.

The prosecution is attempting to show that the Daniels payoff was part of a pattern of behavior by Trump.

Cohen stated that Trump told him not to worry about reimbursement for the payments, implying he would get the money back.

The defense team for Trump argues that no crime was committed as Cohen was handling a personal matter for Trump to avoid family embarrassment.

Cohen suggested that Trump was not concerned about the reaction of his wife, Melania, to the allegations.

Cohen testified that Trump wanted the issue pushed out as long as possible, with no relevance if he won the election.
