0:08
there from CNN, I'm Krista Beaux with the 5
0:10
Things You Need to Know for Wednesday, May 8th.
0:13
A Georgia appeals court says it will
0:16
consider an effort by Donald Trump and
0:18
his co-defendants to disqualify Fulton County DA
0:20
Fonny Willis from the state's election subversion
0:22
case. Remember, the defendants claim
0:24
that Willis financially benefited from her romantic
0:26
relationship with the former lead prosecutor Nathan
0:29
Wade, a claim Willis denies. Back in
0:31
March, the judge on the case found
0:33
there wasn't enough evidence to prove that,
0:35
but to avoid any conflicts of interest,
0:37
Wade had to resign for Willis to
0:40
stay on the case. Now,
0:42
a court of appeals is going to take another
0:44
look, a move Trump's lawyers said they look forward
0:46
to and Willis's office declined to comment on. There
0:49
is another delay in another trial Trump faces
0:51
that makes it more likely that the criminal
0:53
hush money trial in New York will be
0:56
the only one the former president will face
0:58
before November's election. Yesterday, a
1:00
federal judge in Florida indefinitely postponed
1:02
Trump's trial on mishandling classified documents
1:04
at his Mar-a-Lago estate. An
1:07
adult film star Stormy Daniels will continue to
1:09
be cross-examined tomorrow in his New York hush
1:11
money trial. The
1:13
Biden administration is rushing to complete
1:15
a report about whether Israel violated
1:18
international humanitarian law while using U.S.
1:20
weaponry during its war in Gaza.
1:23
It's due before Congress today, but
1:25
sources on Capitol Hill tell CNN
1:27
lawmakers expect it'll be slightly delayed.
1:29
The report has caused deep divisions
1:31
inside the State Department because some
1:33
offices have expressed doubt over Israel's
1:36
assurances they've acted lawfully. The
1:38
report would come at a pivotal moment in
1:40
the war, as CNN's Fes Jamil explains. So,
1:43
Krista, a ceasefire and hostage release
1:45
agreement between Israel and Hamas is
1:47
stalling right now, and Israel
1:49
appears to be on the edge of a
1:52
full-scale ground invasion in Rafa. A
1:54
U.S. official is saying that the Biden administration
1:56
has paused a shipment of bombs to Israel
1:58
over concerning the U.S. that the country might
2:01
use them in Rafah. Israel has
2:03
said its goals there are to get
2:05
the hostages back and quote, eliminate Hamas
2:07
for its terror attack on October 7th.
2:10
But the US and other countries have
2:12
made clear they're concerned about the civilian
2:14
casualties such an operation would bring. Numerous
2:18
women have shared stories on social
2:20
media of surprised pregnancies while taking
2:22
medications approved for weight loss like
2:25
Ozempic and Longaro. And there
2:27
are still a lot of unknowns about
2:29
so-called Ozempic babies. San Anzamik
2:31
Tarel explains. So Christa scientists
2:33
say there are a couple reasons potentially
2:35
behind this. One is that weight loss
2:37
is known to potentially help with fertility
2:40
especially if someone is having abnormal menstrual
2:42
cycles because of a condition known as
2:44
PCOS or other reasons. And
2:46
a second thing to be aware of
2:48
is that terzepatide based drugs those are
2:50
Mount Jaro and Zepbond actually have a
2:52
warning that they may make oral birth
2:55
control less effective. Now these drugs haven't
2:57
been studied in pregnancy but studies in
2:59
animals suggest there is reason to be
3:01
cautious. So doctors recommend stopping the
3:03
drugs two months before trying to conceive
3:05
or immediately if you become pregnant. FTX
3:09
says nearly all of its investors could
3:11
get all their money back from the
3:14
failed crypto exchange with interest. In a
3:16
proposed reorganization plan unveiled yesterday the company
3:18
said it has recovered enough assets to
3:20
pay most of its creditors back in
3:22
full. The U.S. court needs to
3:24
approve the plan which FTX says
3:26
would resolve disputes with government and
3:29
private stakeholders. The once flying
3:31
high exchange imploded in November 2022 sending
3:34
shockwaves through the crypto world after
3:36
depositors raced to withdraw their cash.

3:40
years in prison for fraud among other
3:43
charges. Coming

4:24
major hurdle for a company to
4:26
become a global leader in retail sales. The company is now
4:29
facing a hurdle for a colossal expansion
4:31
of its theme parks in California. Last
4:34
night, the Anaheim City Council unanimously
4:36
gave final approval to rezone much
4:38
of the property, paving the way
4:40
for a multi-decade project that'll expand
4:42
both Disneyland and Disney California Adventure.
4:45
A theme park consultant CNN spoke to says
4:47
over the next 20 years, the project could
4:49
allow Disneyland Resort to go from an estimated
4:51
25 to 40
4:53
million visits annually. Alright,
