today is friday, may 10th, 2024. on the stand, a third week of testimony wraps up in former president trump's hush-money trial. the evidence jurors saw today and the major witness that is slated to take the stand next week. outrage over the deadly florida deputy shooting of an air force airman in his own apartment. what is revealed about why the sheriff's office is called and how quickly the deputy began firing. isorry. apple issues a rare apology after backlash over its new ad. happy friday. we're so glad you're with us. we're going to begin this hour with what could be days of explosive testimony in the

former president donald trump. multiple sources tell nbc news that michael cohen, trump's former attorney and fixer, will testify in the trial on monday. he's expected to be on the stand for several days. earlier today, madeline wester wrapped up her testimony. remember, she is a former aide in the trump white house. some called her the, quote unquote, gate keeper to the oval office during trump's presidency. she revealed new details about a 2017 meeting between trump and cohen where prosecutors say the two men discussed the hush money payments that were made to stormy daniels. leading us off this hour is nbc news correspondent vaughn hillyard and nbc news legal analyst danny cevallos both in lower manhattan outside the courthouse. vaughn, court ended earlier than it usually does or at least has in recent days. walk us through what happened on the stand today and what you are expecting come monday. >> reporter: right. the prosecution did not call another witness because of their

marquee witness to expect this upcoming monday. madeline was the executive assistant inside of the white house for donald trump first two and a half years. she was the gate keeper. she testified meeting between michael choen and donald trump and the pecker and donald trump in 2017. to make an account that there were phone calls placed at certain times between different individuals like michael cohen, keith davidson.

>> danny what do you expect michael cohen will testify about? what do you think the jury will focus trying to hear from him and just walk us through what stood out to you today as an attorney physically inside of the courtroom? >> reporter: if you're the jury, for weeks now, you've been getting little bits of shrapnel hitting michael cohen from the mouths of other witnesses testifying. michael cohen has been introduced and it hasn't been flattering. when he takes the stand. what the prosecution is hoping, they introduced enough corroborating evidence in forms of people and documents so that when the defense calls michael cohen a liar, they can point to the corroborating documents, evidence, lessen the blow. that's why we see michael cohen coming near the end of the case. what we saw today, in materials of having stormy daniels

yesterday, and michael cohen next week today was comparatively less dramatic. testimony from madeline ended up in my view being kind of a wash. good for trump. good for the prosecution both. points for each. you talk about summaries, cell phone data. yes, it can be dry. it's necessary in these heavy documents cases. >> vaughn, what should we expect next week? seems like based on what prosecutors said this trial could end soon or at least the first part.

early on in this trial, he retoed multiple times that he would be keen to testify. he wavered on that more. it would be quite the fireworks because of what we heard over the first three weeks of testimony if he were to go on and take the stand. he would have to face a litany of questions under cross-examination. >> danny, quickly before we go, do you think trump will take the stand? >> i'm probably in the minority of thinking there's a chance. i'm just playing the odds and candid, in all likelihood he's not going to take the stand. only trump knows what goes on in the mind of trump. it will be a last-minute ultimately decision. nobody knows including trump himself. >> thank you both. we appreciate it. newly-released body camera video shows the final moments before a florida sheriff's

deputy shot and killed a member of the air force. the family of airman roger fortson says he was home when the sheriff's county department was called when they were called about a disturbance at his apartment complex. the video showed unidentified woman directing the deputy to fortson's apartment where she says she believed the disturbance was taking place. the deputy banged on the door and announced himself before fortson answered holding a gunpointing it down. we do want to warn you, this video may be disturbing. [ knocking ] >> sheriff's office. open the door. step out. [ gunfire ] drop the gun! drop the gun! >> it's over there. >> drop the gun! >> i don't have it. >> 312 shots fired. suspect down. >> fortson later died at the hospital.

his family insists the deputy had the wrong apartment. the sheriff's department says they were at the right place but are investigating. nbc news correspondent guad venegas is following this story for us. my apologies, guad. i thought we had a sound bite to get to. better to have you break this down for us. a lot in this video. a lot of accusations coming from the family. what more have we learned from this body camera video, and what do we not know right now? >> reporter: ellison, so the video we saw is only a partial video of the entire body cam video that was recorded, right? so we did find out a few things from the video that contradict what we initially heard from the family's attorney. from the video we now know the officer arrived and spoke to someone at the apartment complex. we can hear the conversation. there's a person that tells the officer to go to apartment 1401. we can see in the video that the officer arrives at apartment 1401. now the key thing here is that the person the officer speaks to makes reference to someone that possibly made the disturbance call. there's a lot of questions there. we can also see from the video that the officer knocked on the

door and did identify himself as someone from the sheriff's department. and another thing is we don't see the officer cover the peephole, things that had been argued in the beginning. the family was questioning whether the officer had covered the peephole, whether he had identified himself. and there was also the question of the officer bursting through the door or if fortson had opened the door. in the video it appears that fortson opens the door before the officer opens fire. the initial press conference where the family and the attorney spoke, they shared information that came from fortson's girlfriend, who was on the phone with him when this happened. now, according to her account, she believed that the officer burst through the door. so that's something that changed a lot after we saw this video. however, there are a lot of questions as to what happened after the officer opened fire. also, there's questions to the protocol, whether the officer should have asked them to drop the gun. these are all the things that are now being asked as we have now seen this body cam video. >> all right, guad venegas in miami.

thank you. israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu is remaining defiant in his intention to target rafah with or without american weapons. after president biden threatened to suspend further arms shipments if israel launched a full-scale attack of the city, netanyahu said israel would, quote, fight with our fingernails to destroy hamas. nbc news white house correspondent aaron gilchrist joins us with more from outside the white house. netanyahu speaking out about his relationship with president biden in light of their difference over full-scale invasion of rafah. have they reacted? >> reporter: ellison, the white house has not directly responded to the prime minister's comments today. but what netanyahu said really does line up with the presidents -- with what his spokespeople said in the past and the president himself said in the past. these two men have known each other a very long time and

disagreed over the years. but the u.s. still stands by israel. what's apparent, though, is i think president biden is increasingly concerned about how israel is executing this war, in terms of the impact on civilians. president biden reiterated his support for israel's efforts to dismantle hamas. but in that cnn interview this week, he said he can't send major weaponry to israel if it would be used in a massive assault on the very area where so many civilians have been forced to hunker down at this point. now we don't know how long the pause in weapons shipments will last, but the administration has some logistical concerns, operational concerns, ellison, that israel has still not addressed in a way that the administration is satisfied with. ellison? >> aaron gilchrist at the white house. thank you. it's time for today's cnn mup minute. target is cutting back on their pride month collection and planet fitness is raising its membership fee. bertha coombs joins us now. let's start off with

a growing number of black women are suing the makers of hair relaxers claiming they developed cancers after years of use. it comes as the fda has been working to ban some of the chemicals found in these products. nbc news anchor zinhle essamuah explains. >> reporter: what made you say i want to get a chemical hair relaxer, a straightener? >> i wanted a job. >> she wanted a job. [ laughter ]. >> i just graduated from college, going to an employee with an afro back in those days would not have cut it. >> yep. >> reporter: these five women used chemical hair straighteners for decades. >> when i started to comb my hair, i would get pieces of scalp. pieces of scalp would come out of my hair. >> your skin. >> yes, skin. >> your skin. >> reporter: the women say over time they noticed changes to their hair and health. >> if it was left on long enough, it would burn. >> you would sweat you could probably smell it.

you could sometimes smell like you didn't know what chemical it was. >> reporter: now, some chemicals in air straightening products like formaldehyde linked to increased risk of cancer, according to multiple studies. if you all had known the risks associated with the chemicals found in hair straighteners, relaxers, would you have still used them? >> no. >> no. >> no. >> definitely no. >> reporter: at 37 years old, marty received a diagnosis that she says crushed her dreams of having a family. >> i have irregular menstruals. i was passing clots. i went to the attention of a doctor and learned my situation. that it was cancer. >> how did that feel? >> it made me feel like my womanhood was taken away. because i don't have children and i couldn't have children. so, you know, to hear that at a

young age, knowing i have family. i come from a family tree where kids -- you bare kids. no issue of rough pregnancies or any -- not in my immediate family. so, it felt like a part of my womanhood gone. >> reporter: a study from the international journal of cancer shows chemical hair straighteners can increase the risk of hormone-related cancers in women, including breast, ovarian, uterine and endoemetrial. all of these women have had one of those cancers. of all of you here, who has had a hysterectomy? now carol, frances, marty, michelle, and nina are filing individual lawsuits against various hair relaxer manufacturers. they're all represented by beasley allen law firm, alleging they developed cancers after

using hair straightening products. several companies being sued say the allegations have no legal or scientific merit. in 2022, the nih released a decades long study about chemical relaxers and uterine cancer. shortly after, the fda looked into a ban on formaldehyde in hair straightening products. the agency planned to propose a ban by april 30th of this year, but that deadline was missed. the u.s. is behind others. canada, china and the european union have issued bans or restrictions on the use of formaldehyde in products. on thursday the fda telling nbc news it's still working on a proposed ban, saying it continues to be a high priority, but the rule-making process takes time. adding the fda's new estimated deadline for the proposed ban is now july. >> if there's anything else in there, then they need to look at that as well. >> in the straighteners? >> yes, yes. >> yes. >> if there had been an awareness, we would have had the opportunity to make a better decision.

software company splunk as well. what are they providing? what does it mean to provide for parents who are working? they all provides at least 20 weeks of paternal or maternal leave for both parents. primary and secondary care is how they word it. they also offer subsidized care for parents who need more financial support in order to find those resources. so these are all things parents are asking for and these companies are providing it. >> okay. let's talk a little bit about pay because gender inequality is still a problem in the work force. not going to be anything new to particularly any women out there. but on average, women earn 84 cents for every dollar a man makes according to stats from the department of labor. what are companies doing to bridge that gap? >> even less when you look at women of color as well, right? companies what they're doing, the keyword, transparency and disclosure. companies are looking inward. conducting pay gap analysis internally to see where the pay gap kbiss between men and women at the company. they do it by gender, by race as

well. they want to disclose the results that come out of those surveys. unfortunately the companies disclosing are closer to reaching pay parody. you're seeing the needle move forward. year over year the gap is closing. >> all right. brandon gomez, cnbc, we appreciate it. thank you so much. a zoo in china is drawing worldwide attention for the wrong reason. it dyed a pair of chow chow dogs black and white to resemble pandas. we did nothing wrong. nbc's stephanie gosk says some visitors say they were bamboozled. >> if people go to the zoo and have a great time seeing the pandas, does it really matter if those pandas are actually dogs with some hair dye? officials at the zoo in eastern china apparently don't think so. the latest exhibit at this zoo in eastern china had visitors

doing a double take. these pandas are really chow chow puppies, advertised as panda dogs. and social media can't get enough of them. look quickly with eyes half closed and there is a resemblance to the rare giant panda. sort of. but some zoo goers in china aren't happy what they call a deception. according to chinese state media the zoo said it dye-d the dogs black and white because they didn't have any pandas. a worker insisted visitors are not being misled and that the fuzzy chow chows are accurately described as dogs. a spokesperson for the zoo tells media outlet jam press, people also dye their hair. natural dye can be used on dogs if they have long fur. but how do the dogs feel about it? >> this is something that's kind of being forced on the animal for the sake of human entertainment. >> reporter: it isn't the first time a chinese zoo is mixed up in an animal controversy. last year a sun bear went viral after it was caught on camera

walking on its hind legs. social media exploded with some claiming it was a person dressed up as a bear. which was later debunked. actual pandas are an incredible sight, lovable and playful. helping to boost zoo tourism around the globe. the san diego zoo shared pictures of two giant pandas expected to arrive this summer. a highly-anticipated import after three giant pandas departed from the smithsonian zoo in d.c. last year. >> i love them. they're so cute. >> reporter: now that panda-size void felt across the world with dogs being used as unlikely stand-ins. >> zoos are there to educate and inspire and promote conversation. they're not there to promote painting domestic colors with made up colors to represent.

>> the crowds are what they normally expect. back to you. >> yeah. i mean, a lot to process there. i will say cute animals on a friday, there's that. they are cute. whether they're pandas or ds, i guess. stay with us because there is much more news ahead. you are watc

♪♪ in today's mental health

check, we're focussing on how to deal and how to heal from family trauma. like all types of trauma, family trauma can affect how we see ourselves and how we treat other people. experts say unresolved trauma can also lead to negative impacts on your mental health and also impact your physical health. joining me now is dr. frank anderson, a psychiatrist and trauma specialist. his new book "to be loved, a story of truth, trauma and transformation" is out now. dr. anderson, thank you so much for being here. we were talking a little in the commercial, and i would just say -- a lot of different people have reasons they go into trauma therapy. i started trauma therapy. i do it every thursday at 11:00. it has truly been transformative for me. i thought i needed it because i come back from reporting on wars. then there were so many other aspects that helped me in my life. talk to me about your experience with it both as a doctor and also how it helped you navigate

your childhood. >> totally. i didn't realize that this drive to be helping other people was really rooted in my own childhood trauma. i was in therapy really early on, kind of learning to be anything but who i was. and so i grew up with this suppression. every time i would be what somebody who struggled, something deep hit me inside. i didn't really know what it was. i wasn't until i got into my residency in psychiatry, wait a minute, this is not just about everybody else that i am so emp pathically connected to it, it's rooted in my own history. like you, i've been in therapy a long time healing from this stuff and really releasing the stuff that doesn't belong to us and doesn't serve us well. >> what are some of the impacts when we're talking about trauma, particularly this idea of generational trauma. i think we have a tendency to compare trauma and be like, well, it wasn't that bad. so is it really trauma? what should people be looking for to know whether or not they need this? when we're talking about family

trauma, what do we mean? >> that's a great question. and i don't think people were aware of the impact of family trauma before. we call it trance generational trauma. we know what's passed down in genetic material now, too. but i think about what happened to you and how you respond to it. because most people's responses are extreme, overwhelming, reactive or shut down. those responses give you a clue as to what may be going on beyond the behavior. i'm always looking at what's underneath the behavior. people focus on stopping the behavior. let's get to the root of the problem. >> healing, closure, they're all concepts that sound nice. what is the advice you give patients for their healing journey? >> i love that. healing is never permanent. it's an on going process. i'll say that first. first, shift your focus inside. be with your experience. we do everything we can to get away from our trauma. go inside.

be compassionate towards the parts of you that have experienced the pain. when we're with ourselves compassionately, it opens the door to be able to heal. i think that's the first thing. and what i like to say is truth, love and connection ultimately heals trauma. >> very quickly, any last -- ten seconds, final words on advice for people helping other people navigate their trauma. >> look beyond the behavior. be compassionate. the way they're acting is not really what's going on. hold compassion for their responses and then you'll be able to make a connection in a very different way that is ultimately healing. >>r. frank d [ cellphone ringing ] phone call from the boss? sorry. outdoor time is me time. i hear that. that's why we protect all your vehicles here. but hey...nothing wrong with sticking it to the boss. ooooh, flo, you gonna take that? why would that concern me? because you're...the... aren't you the..? huh...we never actually discussed hierarchy. ok, why don't we just stick to letting dave know how much he can save when he bundles his home or auto

into early next week as the sunshine continues. if you have outdoor plans or mother's day, it's going to be a little bit toasty during the middle of the afternoon, but at least we do have a cool start. and looking at san francisco, we're going to get some relief from the warmer temperatures here. a little bit sooner. will be in the upper 70s with sunshine today, mid 70s for saturday and the ocean breeze as well as the fog returns. so that brings those temperatures back to the upper 60s and more seasonable weather through at least the middle to end of next week. thank you. kari
