From CNN, I'm Ifeoma Dike with the five things you need to know for Tuesday, May 7th.

Adult film star Stormy Daniels has taken the stand again after a recess and former President Donald Trump's criminal hush money trial. Before the break, she described the moments leading up to her alleged one night stand with Trump in his hotel suite and how the $130,000 payment from Trump's former lawyer, Michael Cohen, was negotiated. Daniels testified that her publicist told her Trump and Cohen were interested in buying her story after the infamous Access Hollywood tape came out and said she signed a nondisclosure agreement. Trump has pleaded not guilty to 34 charges of falsifying business records and has denied the affair.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says Israel can't accept the cease fire deal accepted by Hamas as it presses ahead with a military operation in Rafah. The proposal diverges from the one Israel crafted with Egypt. It calls for an end to the war, which Netanyahu has previously said he would not accept, according to a senior U.S. official.

Military pressure on Hamas is a necessary condition for the return of our hostages. The Hamas proposal yesterday was intended to torpedo the entry of our forces into Rafah. It did not happen.

Israel did send a negotiating team to Cairo for the latest round of talks. Meanwhile, Israeli airstrikes on Rafah had killed at least 23 people by Tuesday morning and some of the Palestinians told to evacuate from eastern Rafah by the Israeli military are sharing their terrifying experiences with CNN. They've been told to move to a coastal town near Khan Younis, which aid groups say is unsuitable for habitation. Netanyahu says the goal of the military operation is to eliminate Hamas and bring back the hostages.

An American soldier arrested on suspicion of theft in Russia will be detained for two months. The U.S. Army says Staff Sergeant Gordon Black wasn't authorized to travel to Russia and didn't request official clearance when he left his unit in South Korea nearly a month ago. A Russian court says black is accused of stealing someone's property and causing psychological damage. His mother told ABC news that she had a bad feeling about her son's trip, saying she, quote, "knew something was going to happen."

Vladimir Putin has formally begun his fifth term as Russia's president after winning by an overwhelming majority in March. He faced no credible challenge to his rule, which now extends until 2030. That makes him Russia's longest serving leader since Soviet dictator Joseph Stalin. Meanwhile, Ukraine has detained two security officials who were allegedly involved in a Russian plot to assassinate President Volodymyr Zelensky. Ukraine State Security Service said it foiled the, quote, "actively developing plans" to kill Zelensky and other senior Ukrainian officials. The Ukrainian president has reportedly faced several attempts on his life since Russia began its full scale invasion of the country in February 2022.

Coming up, TikTok sues over a U.S. ban.

Hey. Welcome back.

'TikTok has sued to block a U.S. law that could force a nationwide ban of the popular app over security concerns. TikTok and parent company ByteDance claimed the law is unconstitutional because it stifles the First Amendment rights of TikTok's 170 million U.S users. If it loses, TikTok could be banned from U.S. app stores. That is, unless ByteDance sells the app to a non-Chinese entity by mid January 2025. U.S. officials are concerned that China could use TikTok's data to identify intelligence targets and spread propaganda, among other things. TikTok has strongly denied giving Chinese government officials access to U.S user data.

That's all for now. I'll be back at 6 p.m. eastern.
