JOHN VAUSE, CNN INTERNATIONAL ANCHOR: How word play by Israel has deadly consequences for Gaza, ahead on CNN NEWSROOM.
[00:00:29]
(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)
NIC ROBERTSON, CNN INTERNATIONAL DIPLOMATIC EDITOR: The Israeli government say that they are passing food aid across this border.
(END VIDEO CLIP)
VAUSE: And from there, the trucks filled with aid go nowhere. Technically, in Gaza, miles away from starving Palestinians.
(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Even if both sides don't want a war, they can certainly turn into a war.
(END VIDEO CLIP)
VAUSE: Cambodia and Thailand appear to be inching closer to a wider conflict after a second day of deadly and escalating military strikes.
(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)
PAULA NEWTON, CNN INTERNA: And the justice actually saying that she found that woman's testimony to be not credible.
(END VIDEO CLIP)
VAUSE: And with that, five former members of Canada's junior hockey team found not guilty of sexual assault. So, why then are they still ineligible to play in the National League?
ANNOUNCER: Live from Atlanta, this is CNN NEWSROOM with John Vause.
VAUSE: International pressure continues to grow on Israel to end the war in Gaza, with British Prime Minister Keir Starmer saying the crisis has reached new depths: the suffering and starvation of Palestinians, unspeakable and indefensible. And in the coming hours, he will hold emergency talks with the leaders of France and Germany.
And French president, Emmanuel Macron, says France will officially recognize a Palestinian state at the U.N. General Assembly in September, posting on X, "The urgent priority today is to end the war in Gaza and bring relief to the civilian population."
Swift condemnation came from the Israeli prime minister, saying that move would reward terror and be a launch pad to annihilate Israel, while the U.S. secretary of state, Marco Rubio, added the decision by France is a slap in the face to the victims of October 7th.
At the same time in Doha, Qatar, ceasefire talks have ended with U.S. and Israeli negotiators being withdrawn. U.S. special envoy Steve Witkoff says the talks failed, because Hamas has no desire to agree to a deal, and the U.S. will now consider other options to try and free the last of the hostages being held in Gaza.
Hamas described those comments from Witkoff as "malicious, biased, and dishonest and part of the ongoing psychological warfare and false propaganda aimed at justifying Israeli aggression," unquote.
For the past 21 months, the Palestinian Authority in the West Bank has been able to do little more than watch as tens of thousands of Palestinians in Gaza have been killed by the Israeli military.
Powerless to stop a rising death toll from starvation caused by Israel's border blockade, which is preventing the distribution of almost all humanitarian supplies.
The prime minister of the Palestinian Authority says his government is in regular communication with Hamas and is urging the militant group now to end the war for the sake of the Palestinian people.
And Mohammad Mustafa spoke exclusively to CNN's Christiane Amanpour.
(BEGIN VIDEOTAPE)
MOHAMMAD MUSTAFA, PRIME MINISTER, PALESTINIAN AUTHORITY: We are very outraged about what's going on. Our people deserve dignity. They deserve to live normally, deserve to get food, to get water, to live normally.
We believe that wars will not bring peace to this region. And these actions will only bring hatred and anger to this region. Displacement, starvation, annexation, and occupation are recipe for disaster.
We need the world to look at this very seriously this time. This is not going to be good for anybody whatsoever, including the Israeli side.
CHRISTIANE AMANPOUR, CNN CHIEF INTERNATIONAL ANCHOR: Mr. Prime Minister, let me also ask you about starvation. What are you hearing about how ordinary civilians, ordinary individuals -- men, women and children -- are faring in the ability to stave off hunger? MUSTAFA: Things are extremely difficult. Action is needed, especially
in terms of opening the border crossings.
This is the first thing that needs to be done so that aid can come in as soon as possible. There's a lot of wait -- a lot of aid waiting at the gates. Gates are closed by the Israeli government. This has got to change. This is the -- the first priority.
AMANPOUR: You've said a whole load of things there that require, you know, buy-in from the Israeli government, as well. And there is none.
Their official spokespeople basically say there is no starvation, no hunger crisis. In other words, nothing that they're created. They blame the U.N. for not distributing the food.
Well, I mean, what's the next step? How do you think this -- this -- this starvation issue, the hunger issue, is going to be resolved.
MUSTAFA: The biggest challenge is the siege enforced by Israel on the border crossings. This is the problem.
[00:05:04]
I think the priority, therefore, is for the international community to pressure Israel, seriously pressure Israel to open the borders and allow food in. There is no need to give excuses. The starvation is evident. Everybody in the world can see that.
AMANPOUR: What about Hamas's position? Are you actually in touch with Hamas at all?
MUSTAFA: Hamas and Israel needs to cooperate. There is no reason to continue this war.
We have already said to Hamas that, for the sake of our people, for the interest of our people, for the national interest, we need to move on. We need to end this war.
And I think they are doing, from what we understand, they are doing the best they can, being as helpful as they can. If they are not doing that, we invite them to come and do this as soon as possible for the sake of our people.
But clearly, the problem, the real problem, we believe, is still on the Israeli side.
(END VIDEOTAPE)
VAUSE: The Israelis insist they are in compliance with international law, and humanitarian assistance is being allowed to cross the border from Israel and into Gaza.
And strictly speaking, that's true. The Kerem Shalom crossing sits at the junction of Gaza's borders with both Israel and Egypt and is the main access point for trucks. And as CNN's Nic Robertson reports, hundreds of trucks from dozens of
international aid groups are parked on the Gaza side of the checkpoint. An Israeli created logjam, say critics, with the sole purpose of preventing the distribution of food, medicine, and other supplies.
(BEGIN VIDEOTAPE)
ROBERTSON (voice-over): Reporting at Israel's biggest border crossing to Gaza, the silence is the story.
ROBERTSON: This is the Israeli side. In the distance, beyond the concrete there, you can see the sort of yellow tunnels. That's Gaza.
ROBERTSON (voice-over): But just beyond that wall, hundreds of trucks worth of aid for distribution in Gaza piling up, causing an apparent logjam in logistics.
ROBERTSON: And that's been the big point of contention between the Israeli government and the U.N. The Israeli government say that they are passing food aid across this border into Gaza. What the U.N. officials are saying is, yes, but we can't just come and pick it up.
STEPHANE DUJARRIC, U.N. SECRETARY GENERAL'S SPOKESPERSON: The Karem Shalom is not a McDonald's drive-through where we just pull up and pick up the -- pick up what we've ordered. Right?
ROBERTSON: This big empty car park space --
ROBERTSON (voice-over): The U.N. spokesman saying Israel intentionally throttling back aid supplies through onerous controls.
DUJARRIC: There are tremendous bureaucratic impediments. There are tremendous security impairment -- impediments. And frankly, I think there's a lack of willingness to allow us to do our work.
ROBERTSON (voice-over): Israel is staunchly defending its actions, its president visiting the crossing, blaming Hamas for disrupting aid supplies and forcing stringent security controls.
ISAAC HERZOG, ISRAELI PRESIDENT (through translator): We are acting here according to international law. We are providing humanitarian aid according to international law. The ones trying to sabotage this aid are Hamas and its people.
ROBERTSON (voice-over): The images are shocking the world. International fears are mounting worse is yet to come.
ANTONIO GUTERRES, U.N. SECRETARY-GENERAL: Starvation is knocking on every door. And now we are seeing the last gasp of a humanitarian system built on humanitarian principles.
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: I see that truck.
ROBERTSON (voice-over): Across our broadcast this day, an isolated moment of hope. ROBERTSON: Yes, those are aid trucks. And I'm going to step out of the
was just now, so P.J. (ph), John Torigoe, can get some shots of them.
ROBERTSON (voice-over): The only aid convoy we saw heading to Gaza, about a dozen trucks for the heavily criticized U.S.-Israeli-run Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, GHF, not for the U.N.
ROBERTSON: The aid that's been going in here, according to international officials, according to the U.N., according to European leaders, is absolutely insufficient.
This handful of trucks we have seen, a drop in the bucket, according to what medical officials inside Gaza are saying is required. One of the heads, the directors of one of the main hospitals inside of Gaza, today said what Gaza needs right now is 1,500 trucks like these every day for a month to alleviate the problem.
ROBERTSON (voice-over): Nic Robertson, CNN, Kerem Shalom border crossing, Israel.
(END VIDEOTAPE)
VAUSE: A second day of clashes along the Thai-Cambodia border, forcing tens of thousands of people to evacuate to safer ground and bringing accusations from Thailand that Cambodia is targeting civilian areas with heavy weapons.
According to the Thai military, fighting resumed early Friday morning with an exchange of small arms fire, heavy weaponry, and artillery, with clashes in several areas along the disputed border.
At least 14 people have been killed, more than a dozen wounded on the Thailand side. At least one person has been killed and five hurt in Cambodia.
[00:10:07]
The fighting has sent more than 100,000 people to emergency shelters in Thailand, where more than 4,000 people have been displaced in Cambodia.
Thailand's acting prime minister ruled out talks with Cambodia while the fighting continues.
The very latest now. Live to Hong Kong. CNN's Kristie Lu Stout standing by.
This disputed border area has been a source of tension and friction between these two countries for a while, but all of this seems to have escalated really quickly into military strikes.
KRISTIE LU STOUT, CNN INTERNATIONAL ANCHOR/CORRESPONDENT: Yes.
VAUSE: So, what's the very latest at this hour?
STOUT: Yes, well, fighting has indeed resumed at the border between Thailand and Cambodia. This we were able to confirm with the Royal Thai Army earlier today.
We've also confirmed that some 100,000 people in Thailand have been displaced as a result of the fighting.
Tension is certainly rising after these deadly clashes erupted between these two Southeast Asian neighbors.
On Thursday, Thailand launched airstrikes using both F-16 fighter jets and drones on military targets in Cambodia. This followed multiple deadly clashes along the border, which resulted in the deaths of, according to Thailand, at least 14 Thai nationals, including 13 civilians.
Cambodia, at the moment, is reporting at least one person has been killed.
Now, I want to show you this video that has been circulating widely on social media. Let's bring it up for you. And it shows scores of civilians that were trying to evacuate along the Thai Cambodian border. Unfortunately, there it is right there. You're seeing just waves of people upon people.
Again, Thailand is reporting 100,000 people in Thailand have been displaced as a result of the fighting.
This video, you see the civilians along the Thai-Cambodian border trying to evacuate. Gunfire is heard behind the scenes, and Thai border police can be seen on site.
Now, in the next video, I want to show you what the Thai Royal Army has been using in response to the clashes along the border. They've been using not only F-16 fighter jets, but also, as you see here, drones.
In this video, you see a Thai drone dropping a bomb on a weapons facility in Cambodia.
Now, villagers not just in Thailand, but also in Cambodia, on both sides of the border, have been fearing for their safety. We've been hearing and collecting accounts from them on both sides, including an account from a 45-year-old Cambodian mother of four who was witnessed the clashes. And I want you to listen to what she shared.
(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE (through translator): It was about 8 a.m. this morning. Suddenly, I heard a loud noise. My son told me it might be thunder, and I thought, is it thunder or is it loud more like a gun? At that time, I was very scared.
(END VIDEO CLIP)
STOUT: Now, Thailand and Cambodia, they have had a complicated relationship characterized by both rivalry and cooperation. They share an 800-kilometer border which has seen multiple military clashes over the years. It has also been a source of political upheaval. The prime minister of
Thailand, Paetongtarn Shinawatra, she is under a lot of political pressure right now after a leak of a phone call that she had with Hun Sen, the still powerful but former Cambodian leader, in which she called him uncle, in which she appeared to criticize a Thai army general.
And the result of that leak, she has been suspended. She could face dismissal. We have been hearing from the acting prime minister of Thailand, who has been saying he is ruling out talks with Cambodia until the fighting stops.
John, back to you.
VAUSE: One of the big concerns in anything like this is the law of unintended consequences. So, what are the risks here, and what are the concerns that this could escalate into a much wider, much more serious conflict?
STOUT: There are some deep concerns that this could indeed escalate and in fact, get even worse before it gets even better.
We've been talking to a noted analyst based in Thailand, a professor at Chulalongkorn University, and let's bring up his comments for you. And this is what he shared with CNN.
He said this: quote, "The next few days, we could see more, quote, 'confrontation, clashes, escalation.'" He goes on to say, "Each side has so much pent-up tension."
Relations between Thailand and Cambodia have indeed been complicated, but we are now seeing relations between these two Southeast Asian neighbors at their lowest in years.
We've also been monitoring comments from the United States, from China, from Japan, from Malaysia, the current ASEAN chair, all of them calling for restraint at this moment -- John.
VAUSE: Kristie, thank you. Kristie Lu Stout with the very latest there on the situation along the Thai-Cambodian border. We appreciate the update. Thank you.
Well, in Canada, relief, outrage, and a lot of questions after a group of hockey players were cleared of sexual assault charges. Ahead, we'll have reaction to the verdict and takeaways from what was a very complex case.
(COMMERCIAL BREAK)
[00:19:11]
VAUSE: Five former members of Canada's junior hockey team have been found not guilty of sexual assault. Audible gasps were heard in the courtroom as the verdict was announced.
All five were accused of sexually assaulting a woman in her -- in her hotel room in 2018. The verdict was decided by a female judge, who said she did not find the alleged victim's evidence credible or reliable.
Despite the players being acquitted, the NHL says they will not be allowed to resume their professional careers in the league until officials review the judge's findings.
CNN's Paula Newton has details on the ruling and the fallout.
(BEGIN VIDEOTAPE)
NEWTON: The words of the judge in this verdict really resonated within the first few minutes, even though --
NEWTON (voice-over): -- she went on for about five hours to detail the evidence and explain her reasons for finding all five hockey players -- the defendants here -- not guilty of sexual assault.
And it was what she said about the evidence of E.M. She is the alleged victim here. She cannot be identified and has been known in court as E.M.
The justice actually saying that she found that woman's testimony to be not credible or reliable.
Now, given that all five players were completely exonerated, I want you to listen now to --
NEWTON: -- a lawyer representing E.M. and what she said about the alleged victim's reaction. Listen.
KAREN BELLEHUMEUR, LAWYER FOR "E.M.": She's obviously very disappointed with the verdict and very disappointed with Her Honor's assessment of her honesty and reliability.
NEWTON: You heard her there, reacting, you know, to what the judge had said about her evidence. Not about her but said about her evidence.
And further, E.M., through her lawyer, communicated that the trial was obviously difficult and that, at times, she found that the cross- examination by the defense teams -- and there were five defense teams -- was actually mocking and, she found, disrespectful.
Now, to counter that, the lawyer --
NEWTON (voice-over): -- for Michael McLeod, one of the accused here, who was found not guilty.
MCLEOD: And the gentleman who did admit to having consensual sex with E.M. I want you to listen now to what his lawyer said about what he says, he claims, led to all this. And this was a Hockey Canada settlement, a civil settlement with E.M. that was apparently negotiated in 2022.
Listen. DAVID HUMPHREY, LAWYER FOR MICHAEL MCLEOD: The players were only told
of the lawsuit and the settlement after the fact. Had they been consulted, they would have refused to settle; and they would have vigorously contested E.M.'s allegations.
That version of events dominated headlines and created a lasting and a false -- a false -- impression of guilt.
NEWTON (voice-over): The contentious details of this case and the following verdict will continue to insert itself in what is a highly- charged debate in Canada, not just about consent and what that actually means when it refers to sexual activity, but also --
NEWTON: -- about the culture of hockey and whether or not it is still toxic.
Some people had commented that although Hockey Canada, the organization involved here, had taken steps, actually has an action plan that started in 2022, that, by its own admission, Hockey Canada says it still has much work to do.
Paula Newton, CNN, Ottawa.

VAUSE: In a moment, the quest for transparency by the White House in the Jeffrey Epstein scandal. The second highest-ranking legal official in the United States travels to Florida to question Epstein's sex- trafficking coconspirator Ghislaine Maxwell. She's facing a second day of questions on Friday.
(COMMERCIAL BREAK)
[00:27:47]
VAUSE: Welcome back, everyone. I'm John Vause. Let's take a look at today's top stories.
President Emmanuel Macron says France will recognize a Palestinian state in September at the U.N. General Assembly. Israel and the U.S. have condemned the decision as rewarding Hamas and setting back peace.
But Mr. Macron says a two-state solution must be achieved as quickly as possible.
Five Canadian hockey players who've been found not guilty of sexual assault after a female judge found the alleged victim's testimony to be neither credible nor reliable.
The charges stem from a hotel room encounter seven years ago, when the players were part of the Canadian World Juniors team.
Tensions between U.S. President Donald Trump and the Federal Reserve chair, Jerome Powell, were evident on Thursday during a tour of the central bank's headquarters in Washington.
Mr. Trump claimed renovations were going over the $2.5 billion budget. Powell said he wasn't aware of that.
The clash came as President Trump has been criticizing Powell for months for not lowering interest rates.
Trump was wrong.
For six hours on Thursday, Ghislaine Maxwell, the co -- convicted coconspirator to sexual predator and pedophile Jeffrey Epstein, apparently answered every question put to her by the U.S. deputy attorney general.
But specific details of what was asked and answered have not been made public.
And there will be more questions from Todd Blanche on Friday. Maxwell is currently serving 20 years in this Florida prison for grooming and trafficking underage girls, grooming them for Epstein.
The Q&A with Maxwell comes as pressure builds on the Trump administration to deliver on promises of transparency with regard to Epstein. More details now from CNN's Paula Reid.
(BEGIN VIDEOTAPE)
PAULA REID, CNN CORRESPONDENT: The Trump Justice Department's high- profile discussions --
REID (voice-over): -- with Ghislaine Maxwell will continue into a second day Friday.
Attorney for Maxwell said that his client answered all the questions that she was asked truthfully and to the best of her ability and did not invoke any privileges when she was talking to Justice Department lawyers on Thursday.
But he did not get into the substance of what was discussed. Nor did Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche when he tweeted following their meeting.
But the fact that this is headed into a second day is -- is pretty surprising here, and there's still a lot of outstanding questions.
REID: The first is what is the administration willing to offer her? A pardon? A commutation? All things that President Trump has the power to do for Maxwell.
[00:30:03]
But there are a lot of questions about what exactly she would have to offer, because this is someone who has long had an incentive to cooperate with the government. She's currently serving a 20-year prison sentence, and the time to reveal valuable information would be before you are facing a sentence like that.
But we know the Trump administration is under enormous pressure to make it look like they are moving the ball on this Epstein matter after they've been facing a firestorm following the attorney general's declaration that she would not be releasing any additional material.
REID (voice-over): So, what we're looking for is any sign that this is more than just political theater and that there is potentially something of substance happening between the Justice Department and Maxwell.
But even if she has some sort of material, some sort of information --
REID: -- that she wants to share with the government, she does come with credibility issues. She has been charged in the past related to her truthfulness, and she is a convicted sex trafficker.
And any effort to strike a deal with her or give her some leniency will result in backlash from victims and victim advocates.
Paula Reid, CNN, Washington.
(END VIDEOTAPE)
VAUSE: A possible sign the White House has lost control of the Epstein narrative came Wednesday with the season premiere of "South Park." At one point, Donald Trump was in bed with the devil. Take a look.
(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Hey, Satan!
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: I'm not in the mood right now. Another random (EXPLETIVE DELETED) commented on my Instagram that you're on the Epstein list.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: The Epstein list. Are we still talking about that?
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Well, are you on the list or not? It's weird that whenever it comes up, you just tell everyone to relax.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: I'm not telling everyone to relax. Relax, guy.
(END VIDEO CLIP)
VAUSE: Does seem the scandal could go mainstream, breaking out of Washington.
Now, the Trump character is portrayed as a sensitive bully who threatens to tariff or sue anyone who disagrees with him. And that includes Jesus.
"South Park's" creators signed a $1.5 billion deal with Paramount recently for new episodes, and to stream all seasons of "South Park" on Paramount Plus.
The White House criticizing "South Park" -- no surprise there -- as a fourth-rate show and describing the episode as a desperate attempt for attention.
Still ahead here on CNN, what would a Chinese invasion of Taiwan look like? We visit the set of a provocative new drama that explores just that scenario on the eve of a pivotal vote that could reshape Taiwan's political landscape.
(COMMERCIAL BREAK)
[00:37:10]
VAUSE: Twenty percent of Taiwan's legislature is facing a recall vote this weekend. Many pro-Beijing lawmakers will now face voters again.
Part of growing fears of Beijing's influence on the island, as well as the threat of invasion and whether the U.S. would abide by pledges to defend Taiwan.
CNN's Will Ripley visits the set of a Taiwanese drama which explores that scenario.
(BEGIN VIDEOTAPE)
WILL RIPLEY, CNN INTERNATIONAL CORRESPONDENT (voice-over): A cyberattack. A blockade. Political chaos, deep division. That's the premise of Taiwan's provocative new drama, "Zero Day."
I visited the set with showrunner Cheng Hsin-mei.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Action.
RIPLEY: Why are we in a temple with a table full of money?
CHENG HSIN-MEI, SHOWRUNNER, "ZERO DAY" (through translator): Many Taiwanese temples have close relationships with China, so these money illustrates bribery in local elections.
RIPLEY: Set in the days after a presidential election --
RIPLEY (voice-over): -- "Zero Day" imagines what could happen in the lead-up to a Chinese invasion of Taiwan.
The show is fiction, but the fear it taps into, very real.
RIPLEY: And the timing: no coincidence.
RIPLEY (voice-over): Taiwan just held its largest ever military and civil defense drills. Thousands of reservists trained with U.S.- supplied weapons.
A lot of the training was in populated urban areas, deliberately showing the public what a war could look like.
RIPLEY: Taiwan is also on the verge of a record-breaking recall vote.
RIPLEY (voice-over): It's the culmination of months of political tension. We've seen lawmakers literally brawling in Parliament and massive protests erupting across this island.
Even a giant yellow truck playing political attack ads. This fight is between Taiwan's ruling Democratic Progressive Party,
closely aligned with the U.S., and the opposition, which is seen as friendlier towards Beijing.
The DPP controls the presidency. The opposition KMT and Taiwan People's Party control Parliament, and that power split has paralyzed the government.
LEV NACHMAN, ASSISTANT PROFESSOR, NATIONAL TAIWAN UNIVERSITY: Taiwan has never felt this divided, where half of the country feels that the other half are anti-democratic and their moral enemy.
And this isn't a Taiwan story. This is in every democracy story, and it's definitely a concern of what could happen here in Taiwan, if things remain so divided.
RIPLEY (voice-over): Now, 24 KMT lawmakers, nearly 1 in 5 overall, face recall votes. Supporters of the vote say it's about defending democracy. The KMT calls it a DPP power grab.
And tensions are at a boiling point. If enough lawmakers are ousted, President Lai Ching-te's party could flip Parliament, giving him control of the legislative agenda.
But if the recalls fail, Lai could become a lame duck, unable to govern effectively as Taiwan's political crisis deepens.
Will Ripley, CNN, Taipei.

VAUSE: Well, he was best known for that never-fading tan covering an oversize body and a shirt-splitting routine. But now Hulk Hogan, aged 71, has passed away.
He was pronounced dead in hospital after emergency crews responded to his home in Florida after reports of someone having a cardiac arrest.
[00:40:09]
Born Terry Bollea, Hogan was widely recognized as the biggest wrestling star of all time. In the 1980s and '90s, he helped shape World Wrestling Entertainment. It's now a behemoth today.
Hogan is also known for his politics. A supporter of Donald Trump, he even appeared on the last night of last year's Republican National Convention.
Authorities say his death is not considered suspicious, but there is an ongoing investigation.
