Battle for Mosul; Tombstones Knocked Over At Jewish Cemetery; New York Governor Visits Israel
PAUL: All right. I want to share with you some of the new videos that we're getting in this morning. Hundreds of civilians as they leave Mosul and U.S. backed forces there in Iraq hammer ISIS targets in that city. The Iraqi military believes several thousand militants are still hold up in Mosul and it had control that ISIS had since 2014. But aid agencies say thousands of people have been killed or wounded since fighting began in October. Look at these pictures. Again, coming into us and the people of that city who are trying now to get out and find a place to go. Can't imagine what that is like for them.</s>SAVIDGE: New York police are investigating a possible hate crime at a Jewish cemetery. Police found five tomb stones knocked over in Brooklyn last night. They are working to try to find out if this was a case of vandalism or maybe the weather might have caused it. The investigation comes after a series of anti-Semitic attacks across the U.S. Tomb stones in Jewish cemeteries were damaged in three states over the last few weeks and bomb threats have been called in to Jewish centers and schools across the country this year. So far one man has been arrested and accused of making those threats and because of those recent anti-Semitic crimes New York Governor Andrew Cuomo is visiting Israel this morning.</s>OREN LIEBERMANN, CNN CORRESPONDENT: Governor Andrew Cuomo's first in Jerusalem this morning was Yad Vashem, the Israeli holocaust museum where he stopped and he paused with Israeli President Reuven Rivlin to lay a wreath at the Hall of Remembrance paying his respects to 6 million Jews killed in the holocaust. But the lessons of the past are more relevant than ever in a president with a wave of anti-Semitism across the United States including bomb threats called in to more than 100 JCCs, Jewish Community Centers, and then it was in the Jewish cemeteries across the country. The latest happening as Cuomo was on his flight here, vandalism, grave stones knocked over at a largely Jewish cemetery in Brooklyn. Hitting very close to home for Cuomo who spoke out against anti-Semitism and need to fight this rise of it.</s>GOV. ANDREW CUOMO (D), NEW YORK: In New York now and in the United States we have had a rash of anti-Semitism, over 100 acts of anti- Semitism, and I am sad to say also in my state, the state of New York. It is disgusting. It is reprehensible. It violates every tenant of the New York State tradition.</s>LIEBERMANN: Cuomo pointed out that the New York State Police have set up a task force to find those responsible for these anti-Semitic attacks as well as a reward to help find those responsible. President Donald Trump has spoken out against this anti-Semitism. It was right</s>CNN.
